Gilberto, Perhaps writing the pitches one octave higher and using "ottava -1."

What looks ugly in my opinion is how the beams of the grace notes are not coinciding with the ledger lines, thus making them all quite hard to read. So far I was unable to tweak it to get a nice look, so I would be very glad to hear your opinions on this. Here is the code: \version "2.17.95" { \slashedGrace {c32 c c c} c[ c c c] \slashedGrace {c64 c c c} c[ c c c] } Here is the result: <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n157836/lily_grace.png> And here is how Sibelius handles it (besides the typical ugliness of Sibelius, the grace notes are easier to read here IMO): <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n157836/sib_grace.png> So what do you all think about this? What would be the best solution for a nice looking score? Thanks a lot!
