Re: Acciaccaturas and slashed stems

[Gilberto Agostinho]

Well, a single grace note upon a single note cannot be beamed since there is
nothing to beam it to. But I imagine you meant a single unbeamed note in
among other grace notes in a complex situation, as in the piano sonata
example you sent, right? So, about it: you are totally right on this one, in
this case the autobeaming wouldn't work out well and the user would need to
make manual adjustments. But my point is: isn't this is a complex example
and the by far the most common is to have same duration grace notes? Also,
the user who would type such passage with LilyPond still would need to
manually set the beams, so actually it would make little difference for him
if autoBeam was on.

It is not like I am proposing to make these complex examples impossible, I
just believe that they are the minority and thus it would be more practical
for the regular user to have all grace notes beamed together. It would also
help most people type their score faster. (Look at this example here: this
score is loaded with the most common type of grace notes, and each of them
would need extras [ ] to have a proper beam:)

If you still think this is not a good idea, here is another option: would it
be possible to implement a command similar to the /#(set-accidental-style
'dodecaphonic)/, but related to the grace notes? I don't know, something
like: /#(set-grace-beam-style 'autoBeamOn)/
