Dear collective wisdom:
Two questions:
1. To slash a flagged grace note is easy. But, how to get slashed beamed
grace notes, without having to manually place a slash on each group (and
then have it move somewhere else every once in a while)?
2. I would like to place beamed grace notes that
1. It's not possible AFAIK. I've already asked for this in the early
ninety's :-(
2. You can insert the grace notes after the last beat (or note) of
the preceding bar (measure). Finale wouldn't tell you there are too
many beats.

The DB sounds an octave lower than written. E.g., if it reads a cello
part (which is often does, hence the term Double Bass), it will sound
an octave lower than the celli.

I don't know if someone else has suggested this, as I haven't been

I was never aware of such 80's belief. Up until this recent
scholarship, all I ever knew was that a trio of trombones: alto in Eb,
tenor in Bb and bass in F were the norm in Germany in the 1700s and
early 1800s until replaced by two tenors and a Bb/F bass in the mid
1800s, more or less.
