Acciaccaturas with beams have no slash

[Trevor Daniels]

Developers

This topic has appeared on the users' list several times
over the years, but acciaccatura with two beamed notes still
look identical to appoggiatura with two beamed notes in
release 2.11.  This behaviour may be as intended.  Certainly
some music publishers slash the stems of single acciaccatura
but print double beamed acciaccatura as very short notes,
typically with three beams, and no slash.  Others place a
slash through the left corner of the stem and beam.

I would like to clarify this point in the text in the
Notation Reference.  Is there a consensus on whether the
present behaviour is correct and therefore a permanent
feature, or whether it is a bug which may eventually be
fixed?

In either case, is there an accepted 'best' method of adding
a slash now, should the user wish to have one?
