You can turn existing notes into grace notes. This is useful, if you want to edit music from MIDI recordings and change how selected short notes are interpreted.
Playing in short notes via MIDI can result in notes that are not recognized as grace notes. This happens if the notes that you played are longer than the grace note detection threshold or if you deactivated the Grace Notes option in the Interpretation section of the Instrument Settings dialog.
Procedure
- Select the notes that you want to turn into grace notes.
-
Do one of the following:
-
On the note input toolbar, activate Slashed Grace Note
. -
On the note input toolbar, activate Unslashed Grace Note
.
-
Result
This tidies up the notation without changing the MIDI performance. The selected notes are turned into grace notes, while the original position of the MIDI notes and their durations are preserved.
If you input notes in the Score Editor and then select a regular note and activate Slashed Grace Note or Unslashed Grace Note, the original position of the note changes and the duration is shortened so that it has a reduced duration.
