Hi LilyPonders,

When engraving acciaccaturas to a chord, the slur "attaches" to the
lowest note. (See A of the attached file.)  I almost always want the slur
to attach to the highest note of the chord.  Currently, to do this I change
the \acciaccatura to a \slashedGrace and place the closing slur inside the
chord (see B).  This isn't too much of a problem except that the slur
almost always looks bad and needs a \shape command to fix it (see C).

So two questions: should the acciaccatura default to attaching to the upper
note of a chord?  And should I create an "ugly" issue in GitLab for the
slur problem?

Here is the code that created the attached file:

%%%
\version "2.25.30"

slurShape = \shape #'((0 . 0) (0 . 0) (-0.25 . -0.25) (0 . -0.5)) \etc

{ \textMark A \acciaccatura { d''8 } <e' c''>4 }
{ \textMark B \slashedGrace { d''8( } <e' c'')>4 }
{ \textMark C \slashedGrace { d''8-\slurShape ( } <e' c'')>4 }
%%%
