Trailing slurred grace notes

2013-06-22 02:16 pm

With bowed instruments, slurs are usually used to indicate notes played with the bow moving in the same direction. Near the end of a phrase there may be a grace note or two trailing an ordinary note, but the bow won't change direction until the last note. Is there any workaround to produce the image on the attachment? I can't stop the slur.
