Subject: \slashedGrace vs \acciaccatura
Hello,
I am just wanting a clarification of the difference between the
\slashedGrace and \acciaccatura functions.
Is it just that \acciaccatura is always written with a slur and a
grace note (\slashedGrace) may or may not be?
I wanted to know the difference (musically and perhaps technically)
the difference between
\slashedGrace c8~ c1
and
\acciaccatura c8 c1
So I could accurately document this (with the existing examples).
The output looks the same. Inferring that \slashedGrace c8~ c1 is
redundant as we have \acciaccatura c8 c1.
Thanks for your time.
No doubt others will step in, but a) I believe the slashedGrace function is
to allow a slurred grace note inside a slur and b) I'm not convinced a tied
grace note makes musical sense - it's an ornamentation of briefly playing
one note before switching to another. Having them tied is a bit like a
single note trill or turn?
\relative c''' {
c1(
\slashedGrace d8 c2
\acciaccatura d8 c2
c16~ c2)
c16( c2)
}
