Re: Acciaccatura question/issue
As a further aside, because these are graces, there's nothing wrong with having them as 16s but they are not really tuplets three in the space of 2 because the whole point is they occupy no notation time. They'd be clearer just as 3 16s. People like Chopin have long grace runs with maybe 17 notes but not written as tuplet. Andrew
Re: Acciaccatura question/issue
Turning this into compilable code with a couple of braces, directly copied from you post, works just fine for me with lilypond 2.23.10. Given they are tuplets technically they are really graces not appogiaturas, but that has no bearing on your issue. And yes it is correct that notation wise graces and appogiaturas occupy no musical time in a bar. Andrew
Re: Acciaccatura question/issue
Unfortunately I don't think I can. I can post/send the entire thing which will drive everyone hatefully crazy that's why I just took the part that didn't do what I expected. The first measure is correct with 4 quarters in the bar the second one doesn't only 3 with the acciaccatura. I use a lot of partials in this piece (or set of pieces) and up to this point everything compiles as expected so if you have an idea of how much of this to send great otherwise I'm stuck, because it doesn't work in context of the whole. Jay BTW thank you for responding. And I'm happy to know that my ancient understanding of the ornament is still current.

Acciaccatura question/issue
using 2.22.2 in fresco, my very old understanding of grace and acciaccatura is that they receive no duration value in a measure. the following Minimal example using forget for accidentals when compiled allows only 3 quarter notes in a 4/4 bar. I changed the 8ths in the acciaccatura to 16ths in case that was the problem but that's not the solution. ~ 4^\markup {IX} \acciaccatura {\times 2/3 {aes16 ges aes}} 4 \acciaccatura {\times 2/3 {aes'16 ges f}} 4 \acciaccatura {\times 2/3 {ges'16 f d}} 4\fermata\bar "||" d'8 f es16 ces bes8 aes ces bes16 ges f8 es4 ~ \bar "||" So what don't I understand? -- Thank you Sound & Silence Beginning May 1, 2021 a new address; 1814 Lake Washington Blvd. So., Seattle, Wa. 98144 _206-328-7694 or messages at 206-308-8189_ www.soundand.com and an online short (45 minute) concert of new material on Wayward in Limbo https://www.waywardmusic.org/?p=6082
