Can't see grace note after main note, rests under grace notes, grace notes have different time lengths

• Nov 21, 2019 - 19:36

This piece has grace notes before and after regular notes. The grace notes before are easily seen. The grace notes after are overlapping and not distinguishable. Is there a workaround? Something else I need to be doing?

In this piece, the grace notes have a rest under them. I don't see two voice lines. I'm guessing the rest is supposed to be there and the grace notes are placed above to save space. Do you have a different thought?

The grace notes before are longer than the grace notes after, even though they have the same flag. Is there something I don't understand? Or is there a way to make them the same length in the Inspector?

Thanks!

There is a known bug with graces after if followed by a rest rather than a note - see #293072: grace note after overlaps note if followed by rest.

I don't know anything about the piece in question, but my guess is that aren't grace notes at all, but normal notes of the specified duration, marked small and with rests in another vocie to indicate their optional nature.

Thanks, Marc. That works for me! Regular notes, small heads, second voice rests.

The text only says it's plucked strings for a Japanese dance. This is from Vol 1 of 14, Art of Music, by Daniel Gregory Mason. Distributed Proofreaders volunteers are getting the series ready for Project Gutenberg.

Not just small heads, make the whole "chord" small (so it gets the stem & hook too).

As I wrote ;-).

Yep, at least it seems to work by using a second voice and selecting chords small.
