I think that positioning the expression as you suggest would still
result in the offset being given as EVPU -- that is, absolute units.
yes.
My way, with an offset in beats from the beginning of the measure,
the expression always falls in the right place regardless of how the

Hi Jonathan,
Just so you know, it's not just dual voiced grace notes -- they don't

totally ridiculous.
I guess the best solution would be to add extra staves to the score

But of course, using the Horiztonal Offset in the expression
definition, you CAN specify an absolute offset from beat position.
That's just one of the many benefits of the Fin2004+ expressions.
