Re: Grace notes on first bar of piano staff

[Richard Shann]

I have often thought about putting an automated fix for this in Denemo,
but I am not sure if it is easy to describe the conditions where it is
needed, and what is needed in the case that another part has a note that
spans the position where the grace occurs. If someone can say what these
are I will try and include a fix in the script that checks the score for
unterminated tuplets, incomplete measures etc.
