Jef, You are still not understanding. I think it's likely that you've never tried the specific thing we are talking about. I'm assuming it must not come up in your work.
We aren't talking about voices. Or layers. We are talking about *voiced* linked parts -- i.e., 1 staff, two parts. For example, you might have Fl. 1 + Fl. 2 on the same staff in the score, but separate Fl. 1 and Fl. 2 parts (one for each player). Since the advent of linked parts, this can be done *without exploding* onto separate staves. Voiced linked parts are set up via the "Specify Voicing" checkbox in the Manage Parts dialog. There's more info on this in documentation under the heading "Part Voicing." For the most part, voiced linked parts work reasonably well if you choose your "Edit Voicing" settings carefully. But one specific situation where they DO NOT work is in parts that contain grace notes, because the grace notes can't be spaced in the part using any method. When viewing/editing a *voiced* linked part: - Speedy Entry is disabled - Simple Entry is disabled - Special Tools are disabled And, of course, the beat chart does not allow you to position grace notes. Therefore, there is NO WAY to adjust the spacing for grace notes on voiced linked parts. This is a known bug, dating back to the introduction of linked parts. The ONLY workarounds are (A) extract the parts, or (B) explode them onto non-printing staves in your score.
