If they are grace notes, their time value must come from somewhere. If it comes from the following note, the grace notes start on that beat. How can the legatura mark change that? Sometimes under beams the grace note comes from the previous note. Isn't it a good idea to indicate that with a legatura? It often isn't. IAC, if writing grace notes before a bar means that their time does not come from the first beat, where does it come from if not the previous note? Logically belonging is not the issue, time is. Of course the worst time for an arbitrary hesitation or break is before a bar line, but that has nothing whatever to do with where the time value comes from. Of course you could write small notes that are not grace notes, but if you are inserting time into a measure would it not be good to provide for it somehow? And would not the presence of a legatura (slur mark) or legato (phrase mark) do nothing but confuse the issue if spanning a bar line? The legature spanning small notes don't make any difference in their execution anyway, so the marks are used to indicate where the time comes from, or for decoration. I apologize for not making this much shorter. It's late. :-) Regards, Rale -- For All Guitar Beginners: The pages of very easy solos missing from all of the published guitar methods of others.
