Title: Grace notes with duration
Post by: Warren Porter on 2014-07-19 01:06 PM
I had started to create a new tool which would add hidden rests after selected grace notes, but hit a brick wall when I saw grace notes can't be beamed or tripletized when a rest comes between them.  Any way around this?  Any plans to make real durations an optional attribute of notes and chords?  Perhaps a new type of notes to be used as cues?

This was referenced in a user tip (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=2316.msg49288#msg49288).

No, but you can beam over a multibar rest:

Thanks.  Could the grace notes also be triplets?

You are welcome.

Try it :)

Grace Slurs are worse than regular slurs.
