Thanks, Dave.

With 2.1.28 your version *does* solve the 2/4 problem.  OTOH it removes 
the \time statement from the definition that I want to be my global.  
These globals are so that I don't have to type anything for each part 
which could be typed once for the whole composition.  So far grace notes 
are the only thing that wreck my scheme which is what this test was about.

Here's a new example which takes a previous grace type operation to get 
another one to recognize a slur.

I'm still trying to find someone who has an answer to placing structure 
in one place so that it doesn't have to be typed more than once and can 
be seen better.  Does sly help in this?

Thanks.

Paul
