Auxiliary notes in trills
Is there any way to change the pitch of auxiliary notes in trills (and other ornaments)? For example, if the key signature is A major, but I need the auxiliary note of an F-sharp trill to be a G natural in order not to clash with a local tonicization of B minor.

Thank you! I never would have guessed the trick to make the playback work.

Is there any chance that this sort of ornament-behavior modification could become an inspector property of the ornament in a future version? The workaround is pretty painful. Perhaps a feature request? I have this problem all over the place :-) Another problem is being able to control the length of time over-which a long appogiatura is played. It plays like a fast acciacatura when taken from above and a full half value when approached from below. This would be another nice property to edit in an inspector :-)

Yes, these are common requests and I'd be surprised not to see them implemented soon - not for 4.0, but perhaps 4.1.
Not sure what you mean about appoggiaturas being interpreted differently from above vs below, though. I've never heard of that being discussed as an appropriate interpretation, nor have I heard of cases where MsueScore does this.

Thank you for the information Marc. Look forward to this, then, at some point. Initial experimentation with alpha 4.0 is very promising.
On the later point, I see I was mistaken in the behavior. The appoggiatura takes half note value both up and down unless there is some other ornament on the main note such as a trill or mordent. At that point it acts like a very fast grace note, too fast for me to guess the note value. I was mistakenly thinking that this latter behavior always occurred on the descending appoggiatura.
Nonetheless, I would still like to control the actual duration of the appoggiatura in the playback. In the appoggiatura-with-ornament scenario, neither "half-value" or "super fast" works well as the duration of the appoggiatura would depend on tempo, context, and mood.
I had imagined that both the pitch and the duration could be selected in the inspector.

Don't use the alpha - that's very old now! At least install the beta, but better still, a nightly build.
