Well, apparently, there are two periods for straight flags: 1) The later 18th century, which you are talking about. Their straight flags are quite slanted (about 45°) 2) Modern music (e.g. Stockhause, Boulez), as Jure is pointing out, where the slant is much less and acciaccaturas (with slash) are common. I don't think we can cater for both eras at the same time, since they look different as far as the slant is regarded.... > Having looked through the facsimiles which I possess, > I'd say that grace-notes were tiny, did not have a slash through the stem, > and were not normally slurred to the following note. Okay, this can always be done by not using \acciaccatura, but rather \grace.
