Writing a drag for percussion

• May 25, 2019 - 05:00

I am trying to write a percussion piece, but I have run into a problem. I am trying to add a drag grace note, but I am not sure how to do this with musescore. I looked in the grace note section, and I did not see anything that resembled a drag. If anyone could help that would be great! I have attached a picture for reference so everyone knows what I am trying to do.

The small notes are grace notes. Select the main note and double click the appropriate grace note to add it. To put a slur from the first grace note to the main note, select the first grace note, then press ctrl while you click the main note, then press s to add the slur.

Thanks for the reply. I understand the part about adding grace notes and how to slur them, but my main issue is that I can't find any grace note that looks like the one in my picture (the three 16th notes).

Add a 16th note to the main note 3 times and they will automatically attach to each other.
