Hi everyone,
Can someone try this experiment and let me know if you have success?
Step 1: Notate this bar

Step 2: Right click (or 2-finger tap) the p dynamic and open "Edit Expression assignment" and put "2" in the field labelled "Grace Note"
Step 3: Play back and hopefully the first two grace notes should play back "p", not "ff".
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the Grace Note field to work. For me they play back "ff". Dare I say it, but is this a bug? Or am I not doing it right?!
Cheers and Happy Christmas / Season's Greetings to all.
Hector Pascal.

I get the same behaviour as you describe. Could be a bug.
The only time I had a correct playback was when I attached the expression before the grace notes, like this:

Thank you, Elbsound! I appreciate the feedback. It does seem to be a good software feature, and would be nice if it worked! I will ask MakeMusic about it.
Cheers,
Hector.
