Insert an independent note directly
m
Hold down Option while selecting a note in the Part box, then drag it to the desired position.
Grace notes cannot be inserted directly. They need to be created by converting regular or
independent notes.
Important:
In most situations, you will need to create additional space between the grace note
and the note it’s associated with. The best way to do this is with the Layout tool, which can
be used to move the main note away from the grace note. For information, see
graphically in the Score Editor
on page 612.
Tip: If you want to create beamed grace notes, try using a polyphonic staff style with no rests
displayed for the second voice. Assign the grace notes to the second voice, and resize them with
the Resize tool. See
Add and delete staffs or voices
on page 691 for more information on staff
styles.
