IWBNI it were possible to add a slash to a beamed group of grace notes.

A slash on a beamed group of grace notes cuts through the stem of the first grace note and the beams.

For other examples, see bar 330 of String Quartet No. 5 by Elliott Carter, pages 22 and 42 of Music Notation in the Twentieth Century by Kurt Stone, and page 32 of New Music Vocabulary by Howard Risatti.

To allow one to control whether or not slashes are used, the checkbox Slash Flagged Grace Notes on the Document Options dialog box could be renamed to be Slash Grace Notes. And, if the key ` is pressed when the speedy-entry cursor is on any grace note of a beamed group of grace notes, the beamed group could be slashed.

As it is now, the desired slash may be created as a note-attached expression that is attached to the first grace note of a beamed group.
