Re: Acciaccaturas with beams have no slash

[Mats Bengtsson]

Since the general intention of LilyPond is to support many different
notation conventions (at least by tweaking some properties), I would
classify this as a missing feature. As far as I can recall, the workarounds
that have been posted on the mailing list require some trial and error
to get the correct layout, so they don't seem appropriate for inclusion
in the manual. An example in LSR, on the other hand, wouldn't hurt.
