Ability to enter in grace note pitches via keyboard/MIDI keyboard
I'm putting here because it seems such an obvious thing to want to do that I'm suspecting I'm just missing something - but I have lots of runs of grace notes in the music I'm currently working on, and I can't figure out how to enter them using the MIDI keyboard (or even regular keyboard) at all - only by painfully adding one by one then using cursor keys to shift their pitches.
What I assumed is that you could switch into "grace input note" mode where newly played/entered pitches would get added to your current run of grace notes.
Failing that, if I could take a run of standard notes and convert them to a run of grace notes that would be OK too.
If such a feature already exists, great, though the manual doesn't seem to explain it.

Regarding computer keyboard grace notes, I thought it was a big deal when I discovered "/", then cursor grace note, and "s" to add slur. The only improvement I could consider in that sequence is the ability to type in the desired note after the "/" to avoid cursoring.
As for MIDI It would require a pretty sophisticated input engine to catch grace notes I'd imagine. Interesting topic.

Why does it need to "catch" anything? I'm not suggesting it's "real time" input, still step input, but if I'm entering a run of 5+ grace notes of various pitches, I just want to be able to use the midi keyboard to provide the pitches.
