Not in NWC1.75. But if you want to place some notes at reduced size, for use as reminder lead-ins (not really grace notes, not part of MIDI), you can find fonts suitable for the purpose on the Scriptorium.

Just a quick add on:

There is a way to partially add in a variety of notes of different sizes even from the Noteworthy font source. They are entered as text rather than as midi. The size can be adjusted as desired. I sometime use them to reflect alternate timings on subsequent verses with minor variations in lyrics.

For a "text" grace note, go to page set up, fonts, and define a User 1 font to refer to the NWCV15 font. For smaller notes, I use a size 18 (believe it or not).

Then, on your song, enter a "text expression" at the appropriate location using User Font 1 and a capital H for an "eighth" note appearing grace note. If you need a different size, simply define a different size on the Page Setup, Font size for the User 1 font.

(by the way: G will produce a small quarter note; Gz a dotted quarter note; F a half note; Fz a dotted half note).
