RE: Acciaccaturas with beams have no slash

[Trevor Daniels]

This function works rather well to make a slashed
and beamed acciaccatura with the following
parameters:

slashBeam = 
 { \MakeSlash #40 #0.7 #1.7 #0.08 #0.7 #'(0 . 0) }

as long as the default grace font sizes are used.

See attached example.

It is too lengthy to place in the Notation reference
as is, but it would be a good candidate for an LSR 
example which could be referenced.
