&dAPROBLEM: THIS IS THE FILE FOR THE FIFTH 3-PART INVENTION, BWV 791. 
&dAITS DENSE ENCRUSTATION OF GRACE-NOTES AND FRENCH KEYBOARD ORNAMENTS 
&dAPREVENTS IT FROM MOVING THROUGH EITHER s2mcomp OR autotest. THE 
&dAGRACE NOTES SEEM TO BE THE MAIN PROBLEM IN BOTH CASES (ALTHOUGH I 
&dACAN'T GET FAR ENOUGH THROUGH THE FILE TO DISCOVER WHETHER THE 
&dAORNAMENTS WILL ALSO CAUSE A PROBLEM IN s2mcomp). s2mcomp ENTERS 
&dA"EXAMINE" MODE AT "SOURCE LINE NUMBER 869" AND "652", BOTH OF WHICH 
&dASEEM TO CONCERN A VARIABLE NAMED "spitch". autotest APPARENTLY 
&dADOESN'T LIKE THE SLURS ON THE GRACE-NOTES; IT GIVES THIS ERROR MSG.:
Desired distance between staves of the grand staff? (Enter = accept default) 
0 
140 
Time = 3:4 
Time = 3:4 
measure 1 
measure 2 
measure 3 
Slur error: Can't start an existing slur (possible missing termination) 
Ready for program 
&dAALL THE SLURS IN THE VICINITY OF M. 3 ARE PROPERLY TERMINATED. 
&dACOULD THIS BE A RECURRENCE OF A PROBLEM WE HAD A COUPLE YEARS AGO 
&dAWITH SETTING GRACE-NOTE SLURS, IN WHICH THE DISTANCE BETWEEN GRACE 
&dAAND PRINCIPAL NOTE WAS TOO SHORT FOR ANY SLURS IN THE EXISTING 
&dALOOKUP TABLE? SEEMS UNLIKELY, BUT IT'S ALL I CAN THINK OF.

&dCIF YOU COMPARE THIS FILE WITH THE BG SCORE (A COPY OF WHICH I WILL 
&dCHAVE -- OR SHOULD HAVE -- GIVEN YOU), YOU MAY NOTICE THAT THE 
&dCTRIPLET-LIKE THIRTY-SECOND NOTES IN MEAS. 9, 10, ETC. OF BG ARE 
&dCENCODED HERE AS SIXTEENTH NOTES FOLLOWED BY GROUPS OF GRACE NOTES. 
&dCTHIS IS ACTUALLY HOW THEY ARE NOTATED IN BACH'S MS. THEY WILL 
&dCPROVIDE A GOOD TEST OF s2mcomp'S OPTION OF STEALING GRACE-NOTE TIME 
&dCFROM PRECEDING NOTES. ONE POTENTIAL PROBLEM, HOWEVER, MAY BE IN M. 
&dC22, 35, and 36, WHERE I HAVE TRIED TO REPRODUCE THE FACT THAT THE 
&dCBEAMS OF THESE PARTICULAR GROUPS OF GRACE-NOTES ARE APPENDED ONTO 
&dCTHE BEAMS OF THE PRECEDING SIXTEENTH NOTES. I'VE NEVER TRIED TO 
&dCUNITE GRACE-NOTE BEAMS WITH REGULAR-SIZE BEAMS BEFORE, AND IT
&dCMAY NOT WORK. IF NOT, THEN IT'S NOT WORTH KEEPING; WE CAN JUST 
&dCSEPARATE THE TWO BEAM GROUPS AS NORMALLY DONE.
