I'm trying to use JW's grace note slash plugin to slash a group of 8th grace notes but nothing happens. I've used this plugin successfully in the past so I'm not sure what's wrong. Has anyone had any experience with the new version of this plugin?

Vaughn,
Have you updated the plugins to the 64-bit versions?

Yes, I had. I'd simply neglected to select Always Slash Flagged Grace Notes in Document Options. My bad!

With that setting, why does one need the plug-in?

To place a flag on a group of grace notes. Finale can only do this with single grace notes. Nice thing about the plugin is that it also takes the grace note beam angle into account.
