Beta 2.12 Note/GraceNote Chord anomaly

This clip was produced in Notepad:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Chord|Dur:16th,Grace|Pos:-6|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=First,Muted|Dur2:8th|Pos2:1,3
|Chord|Dur:16th,Grace|Pos:-6|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=End,Muted|Dur2:8th|Pos2:1,3
|Chord|Dur:16th|Pos:-6|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=First,Muted|Dur2:8th,Grace|Pos2:1,3
|Chord|Dur:16th|Pos:-6|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=End,Muted|Dur2:8th,Grace|Pos2:1,3
|Chord|Dur:16th|Pos:1,3|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First,Muted|Dur2:8th,Grace|Pos2:-6
|Chord|Dur:16th|Pos:1,3|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End,Muted|Dur2:8th,Grace|Pos2:-6
|Chord|Dur:16th,Grace|Pos:1,3|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First,Muted|Dur2:8th|Pos2:-6
|Chord|Dur:16th,Grace|Pos:1,3|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End,Muted|Dur2:8th|Pos2:-6
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
It may indicate some weakness in the parsing or spacing routines.

However this:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Chord|Dur:Whole|Pos:1,3|Opts:Stem=Up,Muted|Dur2:Whole,Grace|Pos2:-6
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Could be quite useful in notating organ pedal note as in the attachment.
Variations on it might produce some real cue notes (a much wished-for item).

I'd call the first example a bug, and the second example an exploitation of the bug.
Look at the this:
Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Chord|Dur:16th|Pos:1,3|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First,Muted|Dur2:8th,Grace|Pos2:-6
|Chord|Dur:16th|Pos:1,3|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End,Muted|Dur2:8th,Grace|Pos2:-6
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

If you load in the second example, and change the value of the notes with the tool bar to a type with flags, you end up with essentially the same.
Is this a bug?  I'd say so.  Could this be turned into a feature as Rick demonstrated?  With some enhancements, yes.

Combining grace and non-grace notes in a split chord is not supported. The bug here is that the clip text interpreter doesn't catch it. This will be corrected.

G'day Eric,
while I understand and agree with the "rightness" of correcting bugs, I'd really like to see a functioning cue note facility...
I plays 'Bones, crumpets, coronets, floosgals, youfonymums 'n tubies.

At a quick glance, I think I agree that we may almost have the beginnings of cue notes.  It may be a bug, but hey, penicillin was an unintended discovery, and so was vaseline.

Please don't fix this away yet, Eric. We should run with it for a while and see if we can exploit its potential.
