Grace notes

To create a grace note

1. Enter the grace notes as “normal” notes.
2. Choose the Speedy Entry tool and click the measure in question. The editing frame appears.
3. Using the arrow keys, position the cursor on the note you want to change to a grace note, and press the semicolon (;) or the letter G. The note becomes a grace note.

   On playback, the grace note will play just ahead of the beat-even if there are many grace notes together, forming a run. To change a grace note to a normal note, repeat the above procedure.

To beam grace notes

1. Choose the Speedy Entry tool and click the measure in question. The editing frame appears.
2. Using the arrow keys, position the cursor on the second note of any pair you want beamed together, and press B (or the slash (/) key). Repeat this process for any additional grace notes you want to include in this beam group.
