Re: Bug supposed with grace notes in pickup-bars

[Christian Hummer]

I just found another solution as well:

I write the following line to start with the movement:

   s8 \partial 8*3 \grace {c''8}  b8

With the spacing it works out but now the automatic beam is gone (i.e. 3 
3 in a 6/8); I now about to find a solution for that...

regards, christian
