Fix the Grace Notes
There is no reason in 2025 that I'm still dealing with grace notes not lining up with the same voice. Musescore desperately needs an update for this issue, NO WORKAROUNDS! If regular notes can line up together, why can't y'all do the same for the notes before? Holding back on us? Some of us have been waiting years for this simple fix, and I'll keep mentioning it until someone attempts a resolution.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't immediately understand what you mean by: "grace notes not lining up with the same voice"
Can you attach a picture (possibly also a sample score) to illustrate what you mean.

I am sorry, I can't understand the wished result. Do you want the two grace notes are merged into only one, or something else? Please detailed your request.If necessary, with a sketch showing what you want.
EDIT: for the record, why are you using two voices here for the main notes?

That's correct, merged as one; I should have titled this blog "LINE up the grace notes". Any suggestions on how to do that without creating too many voices?

"Line up" is not in the MuseScore terminology. And I still don't understand the desired result. I need to see an image or a sketch of the desired result to be able to move forward. If not, I'll pass on, perhaps others will understand what you want and come to your aid. And once again, why write these measures in two voices, what's the reason?
Is this what you are trying to achieve?

I believe he merely changed the horizontal Offset of the left-most grace note. (That's certainly one way to do it, at any rate.)
Select the first grace note, click on the Properties tab (upper left), go to Appearance, and change the right-left "Offset". Probably simply increase it by one?
