Project-wide changes to the appearance of grace notes

You can make project-wide changes to the appearance of grace notes in terms of their size, stem length, and slash design.

Grace note size

Grace notes are smaller versions of normal notes, and are scaled down by a ratio that is set by default to 3/5 of a normal note.

You can change this ratio by increasing/decreasing the value for Grace note scale factor in the Grace Notes section of the Notes page in Engrave > Engraving Options.

Grace note stem length

Grace notes are scaled-down notes, so the default stem length of grace notes is determined by your project-wide settings for the stem length of all notes. You can change these in the Stems section of the Notes page in Engraving Options.

Grace note slash design

The precise measurements of each part of grace note stem slashes can be set in the Grace Notes section of the Notes page in Engraving Options.

In this section you can change the following:

  • Thickness of grace note stem slashes

  • Default length of grace note stem slashes

  • Position of grace note stem slashes relative to the end of the stem
