Hi Maite, Good suggestion. This is in fact exactly what I have been doing until now - including using the terrific slash function, thanks Ponderers!. But for some reason in my massively complex score which depends heavily on proportional notation, the beaming in this bar, at least under 2.19.25, goes askew, with the last note coming before the second last note. I think it would be difficult to post this issue to the list as there is no sensible minimal example I can generate that makes it happen, and it is inappropriate to post several thousand lines of code. [A standalone extract does not show the problem.]
Now I have been doing all sorts of non-standard, half-baked hacks to get grace notes as I require them, and eventually ran into so many difficulties that I decided to rework the lot. In a communication to me Mr Kastrup pointed out the foolishness of trying to do an ‘end-run’ around lilypond to get things like this working. I must say this is very wise advice indeed, and I have since returned to a much more straight and orthodox use of grace notes in the score, and stopped using all the fake ‘little notes’ and so on. In fact, everything looks much more smooth and beautiful now. So now that I am back into using proper lilypond grace notes, I hit this issue. Will continue to investigate. Thanks!
