Does anyone know how you notate an Acciaccatura? Gardner Read in his Manual of Modern Practice (page 241) describes the way you play it, but he does not include an example of the notation. I have searched and searched and have not found the answer in other reference books. I hope some of you notation experts can guide me. I appreciate your input.
Unless you're talking about something more complicated that I don't know about, an acciaccatura is simply written as a grace note with a slash through it.
It's wishful thinking that it was that simple - for some people, acciaccatura and grace note are synonymous. For others, grace notes are appogiaturas. Others slash appogiaturas. Many players pay no attention to the presence or absence of slashings.
The only solution is to establish a house style, eg 'crushed' notes are slashed and accented notes are not, and stick to it stubbornly.
