I'm confused. The code
e2 za zb Gm02Afs4 g
does not work for me in PMX. More precisely, PMX finishes, but produces bad
TeX. The PMX code does appear to obey the syntax rules OK, asking for 2
graces with multiplicity 0, not 1 (eight note graces) as Bernard stated).
I've checked the FORTRAN, and it appears that I never allowed for the
possibility of a multiple grace with no beam at all. The error came at the
TeX level, and is what I would have expected, it's trying to build a beam
with no horizontal bars:

==================================================
I don't understand how you guys could have gotten this to work.
Before Dirk does any new coding, let's figure out what's going on here. Then
let's decide if anyone is ever really going to want multiple graces with no
flags. It may not be too difficult to implement but I'm not going to do it
if no one wants it, and I can't recall this ever coming up before.
