accidentals with the appogiatura or accaciatura articulation

[songlady]

Hi

I am using the Print Music Full Version 2009. I am writing a piece which repeatedly uses the accaciatura articulation. I cannot add an accidental to the articulation, and that is going to be a big problem in this piece. That is the first problem I am facing. I would sure appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Songlady

I had to go look up accaciatura and appogiatura! It looks like you're talking about a grace note, according to the Virginia Tech Music Dictionary.

PrintMusic will do that easily, with an accidental if needed. In Simple Entry, enter the note, adding an accidental if you need one. Hold the ALT key, and hit G. The first time, it will make the note a grace note; hit it again, and it will add the slash.

Thank you so very much for your help. I feel just like a little kid being able to take this music out of my head and into a format others can (hopefully) enjoy. I get so frustrated by the details like this, and I couldn't for the life of me think of the better known term for those ornaments.

So appreciative!
Sincerely,
Songlady
