Thanks so much. I'll try your suggestion. But I was also asking how grace notes should sound, which may be more a musical than a technical question. The scores I've seen don't appear to include directions on, for example, whether a grace note should "steal" from preceding or following notes or rests.
I've been inserting such groupings by writing down the grouping and changing the tempo in that place to allow the grouping to fit. Any other notes contemporaneous with the grouping have to be lengthened so that their tempo doesn't change. But since I'm new at this, I don't know how to do all this on a hidden staff and show the correct printed notes on the display staff. Any suggestions on how best to do that?
I like to enter classical pieces into the program. The problem I have with grace notes is that in different compositions they seem to vary as to whether they are intended to "steal" time from the preceding notes or subsequent notes, and as to their duration. It seems that getting the right sound in the program often involves deviating from the printed score. I find myself using 32nds or 64ths rather than grace notes, which results in acceptable results (to my ear) but rather messy appearance. A good example is the Mozart Rondo. Someone posted a version using grace notes very straightforwardly, but I can't believe the music was intended to sound that way. Any suggestions as to how to deal with these problems?
