Erik-

I'm looking for a workaround for another bug reported earlier. 
Acciaccaturas before 32nd note runs apparently throw off the midi 
timing.

I have an acciaccatura of three sixteenth notes before a run of 24- 
32nd notes in a piano piece. The midi engine is treating the 
acciaccatura as timed notes which throws the timing off for the rest of 
the piece. I have tried adding an acciaccatura of spaces \acciaccatura 
{s16 s s} but this doesn't help.

The music is correctly typeset if the acciaccatura is included, but it 
would be nice if the midi would cooperate. I don't know how I could 
insert the equivalent of three non-printing 16th notes into the bottom 
staff without destroying the count for the rest of the piece.

Help would be appreciated!
