I'm wondering if there are any trombone players/experts out here. My
question is, how would a trombonist generally interpret a grace note with a
slur onto another note about a 2nd lower (in a 20th century score)?:
a. Would they soft-tongue the second note?
b. Would they just tongue the first
writing, and many
composers write grace notes when they _expect_ a slide, so it's best to
be explicit about what you want.

Okay, I'm sure this has come up before, but I'm just wondering what folks'

I know that one approach is to display the accidental again if the note is
