Re: Grace note spacing and barcheck difficulty in bagpipe music

[Ben Beeson]

Hi David and the rest of the LilyPond users,

Sorry for the dwell between messages, I've been trying various things to
figure out how to make the \grace {s8} idea work with bagpipe music.  So
far I have had no luck.  I have included an example and some staff
images to show how this comes out.  What I am striving to achieve is an
error free compilation that looks like
Snippet_Spacing_grace_example1.pdf.  What I get when I try the \grace
{s8} looks like the staff output in
Snippet_Spacing_grace_meets_bagpipeDoublings.pdf.  

In the attached LilyPond file, you can switch the comments in the two
voices to generate either output and see the compiler errors.  

I hope the fix is something simple.  If I have missed something in your
advice to add grace spacing, please point me to it.

Thanks in advance,

Ben
