Switch? Making it visible? I have it always visible, and I'm not sure
what's new there, compared to grace notes (which can, too, use different
duration representations).

Wouldn't it be simpler to have a single "slash" toggle action, applicable
to any duration? So that one might slash a 16th grace note too.

I just looked a bit more into the existing grace note feature, and grace notes
already have zero-duration. So I'm not sure why anything would have to be
changed there. See existing screenshot.

Sounds like a simple boolean property to me :)

Isn't that just one "make it slashed" command?

Yes ;)

Ah. This is something I don't have any clue about. We don't do custom QPainter
drawing but we expect to find a font that contains 8ths and 16ths etc? 
Surprising,
how do we connect beaming to that then?

I'm surprised that this is seen as something that complex to add. I see it
as a simple on/off setting with no other effect than rendering (and lilypond 
export),
given that the duration calculations are already just fine for grace notes.
