Here's a snippet using fake grace notes which might be one way of solving this problem: \version "2.11.42" \paper { ragged-right = ##t } rh = \change Staff = upper lh = \change Staff = lower %This macro fakes grace notes from normal notes using the default grace note settings in engraver-init.ly graceNotes = #(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?) #{ \override Stem #'direction = #UP \override Stem #'font-size = #-3 \override NoteHead #'font-size = #-3 \override Dots #'font-size = #-3 \override Stem #'length-fraction = #0.8 \override Stem #'no-stem-extend = ##t \override Beam #'thickness = #0.384 \override Beam #'length-fraction = #0.8 \override Accidental #'font-size = #-4 \override Slur #'direction = #DOWN $music \revert Stem #'direction \revert Stem #'font-size \revert NoteHead #'font-size \revert Dots #'font-size \revert Stem #'length-fraction \revert Stem #'no-stem-extend \revert Beam #'thickness \revert Beam #'length-fraction \revert Accidental #'font-size \revert Slur #'direction #}) upper = { \time 3/8 %a skip for the first grace note in the bass, followed by the main note with a scaled duration s16 dis'4.*5/6 | } lower = { \clef bass %the arabesque faked using the macro and scaled durations \graceNotes { \voiceTwo d,,8*1/2 \rh %hide the small accidental for the merged note \once \override Accidental #'stencil = ##f dis' \lh cis, fis g } s } \score { \new PianoStaff << \context Staff = upper { \upper } \context Staff = lower { \lower } >> \layout { \context { \Score \override NoteCollision #'merge-differently-dotted = ##t } } } Regards, Neil
