A Grice Note

Speranza

Wikipedia reads:

"A grace note is a kind of music notation used to denote several kinds of musical ornaments, usually printed smaller to indicate that it is melodically and harmonically nonessential. When occurring by itself, a single grace note normally indicates the intention of either an appoggiatura or an acciaccatura. When they occur in groups, grace notes can be interpreted to indicate any of several different classes of ornamentation, depending on interpretation."

On the other hand, a Grice note is a note by Grice or on Grice or under Grice -- perhaps even behind Grice.

The notation is similar.

Note that Grice was the main author of Grice notes. When his third "William James" lecture was prepared for publication -- never by himself! -- it came out as entitled:

"Further [Grice, that is] Notes on Logic and Conversation".
