That's a rhetoric question, no?
For notation it makes no difference [Willemze]; I guess that it is
merely a performance issue, and is never specified explicitely.
Although its custom practice to perform appogiatura (Vorschlag;
shorten next note) in music before ca 1800, and acciaccatura
(Zusammenschlag; shorten previous note) for uhm 'modern' music.
Lily is has just started to learn how to perform the appogiatura,
but she hasn't quite mastered, yet.
