i find it best to set them perfectly in the parts and accept how they look in the score. since the grace notes are fixed (not proportional) distance from the note they belong to, in general they spacing in relation to the main note should be acceptably close in MOST cases. you can also

Hi Jef, If you are using *voiced* linked parts (multiple parts/staff), grace note spacing cannot be adjusted in the parts. That is the longstanding bug we are complaining about. Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On 28 Jul 2011, at 5:16 AM, SN jef chippewa wrote:

yep, we're talking about the same thing: you can in fact adjust it in the PT, but the grace notes remain linked (i.e. will also move in the SC), i'm just saying sometimes the positioning discrepancy is not so critical. using the opt-click on the measure trick i mentioned will avoid having

Technically, double barlines are measure attributes, not items. Bars are not respaced and system breaks are not removed either, when you clear all. Happily, though, you don't have to change them individually. While everything is selected, click the measure tool, double click any of the selected
