Subject: Going back in MIDI time error: disappeared?
NR 1.2.6, Grace notes, section Known problems:
"""
Each grace note in MIDI output has a length of 1/4 of its actual duration.
If the combined length of the grace notes is greater than the length of
the preceding note a “Going back in MIDI time” error will be generated.
Either make the grace notes shorter in duration, for example:
\acciaccatura { c'8[ d' e' f' g'] }
becomes:
\acciaccatura { c'16[ d' e' f' g'] }
"""
I'm trying to reproduce such an error, just to check if I've understood it
correctly, but I can't.
The combined length of grace notes, in first example, is 5/8. So if I put
a shorter note before the grace expression I should produce an error?
\version "2.17.10"
{
c'16
\acciaccatura { c'8[ d' e' f' g'] }
}
It's not working.
I think I'm totally missing the point.
Secondly, I can't find that message in the lilypond.pot file, even though
I remember I've come across it some time ago:
cd po
git grep -i 'midi time'
Where is it?
Finally, searching the archives and the tracker I've found that I cannot
reproduce in 2.17.10 the error in the examples posted. See for example:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1412
Can you help me?

If I use the exact example at the top of Issue 1412, I get the error on
Windows with both downloaded 2.17.9 and a self-built test version of 2.17.10
