thanks for this explanation. that helps. another question, in german these notes are often also called "vorschlagnoten" [literally "before beat notes"] and are required to be played before the beat they are associated with. are these notated any differently? simply asking because i'm currently typesetting some works by a young composer and he has performance notes stating these grace notes should explicitly be performed before the beat. so to summarize lilypond's 3 options: \apoggiatura: take written value away from note \acciaccatura: as fast as possible, _on the beat_ \grace: ?? regards, sb -- Do not meddle in the affairs of trombonists, for they are subtle and quick to anger. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
