2. I would like to place beamed grace notes that precede downbeats

If there are other notes in the previous measure, then this is easy,
but I don't think you would be asking in that case.
I think you've misunderstood. It seems to me that he's not asking how
to make such grace notes in the first place, but how to *move* them
from the beginning of one bar to the end of the preceding bar. In my
experience, the only way to do this is to erase the grace notes and
re-enter them. If someone knows of a plug-in that will do this globally
or regionally, I'd really, really like to know about it, especially
inasmuch as certain Finale operations cause grace notes entered at the
end of a bar to move into the following bar, from wh. they cannot be
retrieved save by erasure and reentry.
As for slashes on beamed graces, I find a smart-shape line very much
the way to go, as it will be very stable and adjust its length and
angle to match your layout.
