Grace notes with duration

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.

No, but you can beam over a multibar rest:
