Hi all,

>> note.
> Tell the composers!

As a composer, I differentiate quite specifically: slashed grace notes 
(regardless of the number) are meant to be played on the beat, while unslashed 
grace notes are placed before the beat (with the main note landing on the beat).

I know many conductors — especially choral conductors — who interpret the slash 
similarly.

Cheers,
Kieren.
