grace notes and slurs

[Steve Blackwell]

I have two notes, an dotted quaver F# and a semiquaver E, with a slur between them. I added a quaver E grace note in front of the F#. So far, so good. Now I want to put a slur between the grace note E and the F#. When I do this, it moves the slur that begins at the F# to begin at the E grace note so that now I have two slurs that begin on the grace note. Is this a bug? I'm using 1.7.3 on F10.

Also is there a way to control the size of the grace notes? They are too big for my taste. I've just upgraded from 1.6.? and this is the first version that I've used where grace note work so I'm not complaining.

Steve.

You might try just starting over and fiddling with it.  I can't reproduce
this, but I have no doubt you arrived at this situation, and it could be
repeated.

What I wound up with looks like [result.jpg]  Isn't that the sort of thing
you're after?

Of course the bad news is even if what I've depicted is the sort of solution
you're after, it doesn't export to LilyPond properly.

If you happen to be able to show me a snippet of this kind of situation in
some score for me to try to copy, I'll be happy to piddle and share any
findings.  It would be easier with a picture of what a real result is
supposed to look like.  (Unless, of course, I just produced one.)

No.

Not quite. I've scanned the section I'm trying to reproduce and attached it and I've also attached what I'm getting in RG. I mis-wrote slightly in my first e-mail. When I create the section without he grace note and then add the grace note, the slur automatically moves to star ton the grace note.

Bummer. Ah well, there are worse thing to worry about.
