How can I create a grace note after a regular note?
Whenever I create a grace note, it always appears before the regular note I selected. Is there any way I can create a grace note after the regular note?

Not that I know of. Instead, create a regular note in the desired position (in another voice if necessary), mark it invisible, and attach the grace note to that.

MuseScore does support grace notes after the main note:

In such a case, is the grace note duration still stolen from the main note duration?
And is the grace note duration as indicated by its flag?
It could simplify some of the Bach timings.

For example, here is my flute rendition of BWV 1010-IV Sarabande:
I could simplify the timing using after-note grace notes:
It then becomes just quarter notes and grace notes.
Just a thought.

Nope! Sadly, I played it back, and the timing is not what I had hoped.
Oh well. As I said, "Just a thought."

Grace notes after main notes were not supported in 2011 when this thread was started :-).
Time is taken from the main note, so I'm not sure what about the playback is not as you expect. But it's certainly true that, as with grace notes before, there can be disagreement over what is expected. Consider the articulation & ornament plugin.

How do I get the Articulation & Ornament plugin? It is not listed in the Plugins drop-down menu.
Where can I get more information about that plug-in.
If I create a composition using plug-in features, what happens when someone else tries to play the composition back on MuseScore.com, or in their own MuseScore desktop program?

From the plugin page on this website: https://musescore.org/en/project/articulation-and-ornamentation-control
Plugins can only automate what you can do manually anyhow (but would take much more time). So other don't need the plugin to experience its effects once you've applied them to your score.
Could you be more specific about what you are trying to do?
Or provide a picture of the section of score you are trying to copy?
Normally grace notes are written before the main note, apart from a few examples of unaccented appoggiaturas which I have seen in 18th and early nineteenth century keyboard music.
Unless you are copying from a score and wish to preserve the look, then it is preferable to write out ornaments for the sake of clarity.

I am guessing he means things like the final notes that are often notated at the end of a trill. See also this thread:

What I want to achieve is as shown in the attachment. I wonder whether the difference between placing a grace note before a regular note and after it will effect the playback, or is just a perference of writting.

I've never seen a notation like hat before and wouldn't be sure what it was supposed to mean. I might guess it is basically an "escape tone" - the D is to be played just before th next beat. I doubtt there would be any automatic support of playback for such a nonstandard marking, but I think I'd probably just attach the grace note to the note that follows then nudge it into position and add the slur to the previous note manually,and accept whaatever playback resulted. if for spme reasn more accurate playback is desired, I'd mark that passage "0" velocity, then enter the desired playback using standard notation in another staff. I use that trick of exta playback staves pretty often. Then I generate a "print score" from that as a part that includes everything but the playback staves,

Neither have I.
It looks completely wrong!
I suspect that it is supposed to be a short appoggiatura taking a small amount of time from the note preceding it.
Personally I would attach it to the C and then fake the slur back to the B
Which is what Marc just said - doh!

I'm quite sure it isn't a occasional error, because this sort of stuff appears many times in several different scores. By the way, these scores are reconstructed ancient Chinese scores(about 12th,13th century AD).

Amazing :)
Eastern music is something I know very little about, but I was under the impression that the majority of Chinese Classical music was transmitted by oral tradition, and not written down.
You should let the dev team know of any more gaps in MuseScore's armoury for notating this music :)
In reply to Amazing :) Eastern music is by ChurchOrganist
Indeed, most Chinese Classical music was transmitted by oral tradtion. That's why most of them are lost. Only few works of very late date are left, besides some much older works are preserved as their Japanese versions. What a pity! What we can do now is merely to reconstruct some works based on several scarce ancient scores. Even these scores are not so reliable, since they are just inaccurate records--even the length of each note was not recorded!
