FWIW, Exposé is by default mapped to F9, F10, and F11. You can also configure hot corners to invoke it via mouse movements, or you can pick your own keyboard -- or multi-button mouse -- shortcuts. F9 shows you miniature versions of all open windows. F10 shows you miniature versions of all

Interesting. Using the grace note from the Simple Entry pallette I had the same result, whether following the time signature/key sig. (as in your gif) or not. I don't know if there's any setting that can be changed, but as a workaround I found that if I entered those same notes as regular 16th
