Using grace note slashes with normal heads
The slash through the stem found in acciaccaturas can be applied in other situations.
\relative c'' {
\override Flag #'stroke-style = #"grace"
c8( d2) e8( f4)
}
Using ties with arpeggios
Ties are sometimes used to write out arpeggios. In this case, two tied notes need not be
consecutive. This can be achieved by setting the tieWaitForNote property to #t. The same
feature is also useful, for example, to tie a tremolo to a chord, but in principle, it can also be
used for ordinary consecutive notes.
\relative c' {
\set tieWaitForNote = ##t
\grace { c16[ ~ e ~ g] ~ } 2
\repeat tremolo 8 { c32 ~ c' ~ } 1
e8 ~ c ~ a ~ f ~
