...and looked up both "acciaccatura" and
"appoggiatura" in the Grove Concise Dictionary of Music. This was even more surprising, because under "acciaccatura" it had a definition consistent with the above, but under "appoggiatura" the definition of "acciaccatura" with which I was familiar: a crushed note, played before the beat and stopped before the main note was sounded. This had descriptions of the modern nomenclature, a slashed eighth, and the older nomenclature, one or more sixteenths. The two definitions of "acciaccatura" were inconsistent, and neither made any reference to the other.
That *doesn't* surprise me - it's hardly the first inconsistency I've come across in Grove. Does anyone have access to the full new edition, to see what's said there?
