i find it best to set them perfectly in the parts and accept how they look in the score. since the grace notes are fixed (not proportional) distance from the note they belong to, in general they spacing in relation to the main note should be acceptably close in MOST cases.
you can also slightly adjust manual positioning to accommodate any collisions caused by pitch changes in transposing instruments. in speedy opt-click (mac) on the measure in question and you can set the individual grace notes to NOT be affected by music spacing. then run music spacing and adjust manual positioning and then beat charts (measure tool) as needed in SC/PT to give space for the grace notes. -- another possibility if the score is for a solo instrument, if you really want to get geeky, is to make the grace notes as hidden tuplets (real notes), reduced to same percentage as the grace notes. this requires then changing time sigs (more choices: use different time sig). it is a little time-consuming but gives you massive control over positioning and music spacing. stupid kludge but it works. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
