Beginning a piece with tuplets with a grace note or appoggiatura

[Trent Johnston]

Hello again,

 

I'm currently typesetting a trio sonata by Locatelli...

 

In one movement the the two flutes are in 12/8 time while the Continuo part is in Common time.

 

This is ok I thought I can set the flute parts in tuplets and fake 12/8 time-signature at the beginning... since essentially this is what the composer is doing setting the time signature as 12/8 so the players wouldn't be overwhelmed with triplets everywhere.

 

But there is a problem with beginning the first note of the system with either a grace note or appoggiatura. I get the first bar with the grace or appogiatura but then there seems to be a restart of the systems and the resest of the music continues.

 

I get the same problem if change the notes to triplet groups as well i.e. \times 2/3 {       } etc.

 

Platform: Windows XP

Lilypond Version: 2.7.10

 

Is this a bug? or Is there something I need to do?

 

Regards,

 

Trent

 

The code is here...
