Thanks Richard, I did start with the Grace After feature but it didn't seem to change the grace note position and in Print View it appears in measure after where it appears in Denemo.
I've changed the default 'fractional position' of 3/4 to many different fractions, but it still stays in exactly the same place -- which is after the barline and near the following note. At first I thought I was turning the feature On and Off each time I applied the feature, but that didn't seem to be the case. It seems that no matter what I do -- delete the grace note, and start a new one -- it doesn't make the change. I'm using Andreas' 2.6.38 build for Debian/Ubuntu. It was only then that I tried the LilyPond \afterGrace command which changed the grace note position, but then moved the following quarter note out of the next measure, pushing everything else out of rhythmic alignment. I'd rather stay within Denemo to make these changes. Is there a possibility the Grace After feature has been deactivated on my build or system?
