Hi David, I do disagree with you on this one. While I do agree with you on this here "grace notes has no generally fixed relation to musical stresses", I still think that it is a standard that ALL grace notes of a single note are beamed together. If there is a note that doesn't have a flag, the beam will be skip it obviously, but not due to any musical stress. This is how I see the standard:
\version "2.17.26" { \relative c'' { \mark \markup {To beam or not to beam...} \grace {a8_\markup\underline{wrong} b c} d1| \grace {a8_"correct"[ b c]} d1 | } } { \relative c'' { \mark \markup {Correct way of beaming} \grace {a8_\markup\underline{wrong}[ b c] b[ c]} d1 | \grace {a8_"correct"[ b c b c]} d1 | \grace {a16_\markup\underline{wrong} [ b c b] a[ b c b]} d1 | \grace {a16_"correct"[ b c b a b c b]} d1 | \grace {a8_"correct"[ b c] a4 b8[ c]} d1 | \grace {a8_"correct"[ b c] a4 b c8} d1 | } } You can also have a look on pp. 16-17 of the /Standard Music Notation Practice/ here: http://icking-music-archive.org/lists/sottisier/notation.pdf Although they do not mention beaming, all multiple grace notes are beamed together. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Acciaccaturas-and-slashed-stems-tp150981p151036.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
