2007-11-11 Thread Peter Mogensen
Hi, Am I the only one who is sad to see Issue 34 at low priority? I guess it's about the bug mentioned at the bottom of: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Grace-notes I write a lot of scores with drum flams (*) and this bug makes it a lot harder to write and maintain.
