Hello Christopher, Noel, David,
When I press alt G (which is indeed the right command for a grace note in
easy entry), something really bizarre happens. This is what I did. I created
one staff in 4/4 and notated 4 quarter notes for the first measure, so this
measure is full. I wanted to start the second measure with 5 grace notes, so I
pressed alt-G and put in the notes. The notes start by counting back (!): the
first eight grace note positions itself on the second part of the last beat of
the previous measure and so on. If I put in more than eight 8 notes, the ninth
8 note positions itself in front of where the music started. When I put in more
notes, they also go to a measure which does not exist (a measure before measure
one). When I play back, all the regular notes are sounded simultaneously with
some of the grace notes
I apologise for my incompetence, but I, as I explained, I did not find the
manual, so I try to learn by doing and asking. There is another problem which
bugs me. For some time, I did not know how to tie a note to the next one (in
easy entry), although there is a button for it. The problem was that I did not
see this button because it was not on my screen. The last button I could see in
the left corner was ½ and the tie button is below it. I only found it when I
closed the main tool palettes and the play back functions. Then the tie button
came up. There is row of symbols on my screen which I do not use for the
moment, but I cannot do this row away to have more space. The row starts with
the symbol for Show margins and ends with Automatic Music Spacing. With
best regards, Will
