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

Many thanks to those who helped with my grace note spacing problem. It feels like the old days, extracting parts then massaging them! Reminds me how much (this feature excepted) linked parts have made my Finale life easier. FWIW I did submit a case. And in doing so I saw the page where they
