Re: grace-note spacing and triplets

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi Harm,

this is interesting!? This is another very smart solution, but why/how 
does this work?
I will look for a way, to add the TextScript with the edition-engraver ...
The rest-solution is handy, but OTOH not easily applicable "externally". 
By the way, I tried succesfully 's4' instead of '\once \omit Rest r16*3/2'.

Thank you for these thoughts/snippet!

Cheers
Jan-Peter
