Is this a feature or a bug?
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|RestChord|Dur:4th,Grace|Opts:Stem=Down|Dur2:4th|Pos2:0
|RestChord|Dur:4th|Opts:Stem=Down|Dur2:4th,Grace|Pos2:0
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
This may have some uses in lyrics with varying syllables in different verses, but I don't want to use it if it a bug and is likely to change.
Hi Rick,
I'm guessing of course, but having looked at the clip text I would bet that this is a feature.
Pending confirmation from Eric...
Good find!

How did you do that? I got the grace/rest, but wasn't able to add the 1/4 note to it as a chord. Stem up or down didn't help.
Umm yeah Rick,
I just did a copy and paste - how _did_ you do it?
The first one is simply a normal RestChord that I selected and hit the "grace button"
The second one is a grace rest + grace note, then I selected it and hit the grace button twice, then audit note stems.
You can complete the set:
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|RestChord|Dur:4th,Grace|Opts:Stem=Down|Dur2:4th|Pos2:0
|RestChord|Dur:4th|Opts:Stem=Down|Dur2:4th,Grace|Pos2:0
|RestChord|Dur:4th,Grace|Opts:Stem=Up|Dur2:4th|Pos2:0
|RestChord|Dur:4th|Opts:Stem=Up|Dur2:4th,Grace|Pos2:0
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
By editing the clipboard text.
Beaming RestChords is a whole 'nother matter... Generally you can't.
Then there is this restriction on having rests that are longer than the attached note that I have never understood.
It would seem to me that RestChords need not even exist. The rest
could be handled like a accidental..."r" instead of "#" or "b". The structure and error checking would be as for any other chord, only the display would be different.
More and more, when I have 2 or more voices, I am just starting out with a layer, knowing that somewhere I am going to run into a problem that is insoluble without layers.
This looks like a bug (the grace note attribute should apply to everything in the RestChord). I would not recommend trying to exploit it, since it will be fixed.
It's official. The Grace property will be an all or nothing property on RestChords in the next release of NWC2.

Looks like I lost my bet...
