I need help and direction with grace notes for percussion in general and snare drum specifically.
How do I add 1, 2 or 3 grace notes to a 1/4 note fora snare drum?
Search talks about slashes and tutorial...?

In Simple Entry, I would select both the sixteenth note AND the grace note icons, and click them into the score with the mouse. I'm sure there there are better ways, but it works for me.

Same shortcut in Mac: Opt-G. The only issue is just like triplets on the last beat, where the measure can get overloaded before you change them into grace notes.

That's why you use Command G to load the grace note tool before you add the note. Then toggle it off for the final real note of the measure.miker wrote:Same shortcut in Mac: Opt-G.

I never thought of doing it first. I'm so used to entering the note, and then making the change; dot, accidentals, triplet...
I'll certainly give it a whirl. Thanks.
