ahem.... I'm sorry I wrote tie but I meant slur... I always mix up these
english term :(
Your code works. My mistake was closing the round brackets after the curly
bracket...
b \afterGrace a ({ g16 b a }) g4 g
Why this is not correct? Doesn't look 'better' then ({ g16 b a)}? I'm
joking but really, why my code is not acceptable?
Thank you, g.
