The slash I create with the line tool for grace notes of 2 or more notes sometimes moves around. How can I anchor it so it doesn't drift?
Thank you.

There's a JW plug-in, JW Grace Note Slash, you may want to use instead. It makes an articulation which is attached to the grace note itself, so doesn't have your problem.

I don't see that in my list of JW tools.

Here's a file containing the slash. If you just copy the first measure into your file, then clear the measure, the slash shape should then appear in your articulations. Attach it to the first of your grace notes. Looks like some manual adjustment may be needed (the plug-in would take care of that), but it should then not move.
