What can I use that would act like a grace note after the main note?

• Sep 30, 2017 - 22:12

I'm trying to transcribe a song but am not familiar with all the rules for writing music. I don't think I can put a sixteenth grace note after a half note (I've never seen it done), but I need something that would act just like that. What can I use?

You can use any grace note after you like. The grace notes after are in the advanced palette. You can change to the advanced palette by clicking the word "Basic" at the bottom of the palettes and selecting "Advanced."

One word of warning, for some reason the grace notes after do not play in MuseScore and checking play in the inspector does not improve this. I would suggest to just live with this limitation rather than trying to add a second invisible voice that plays correctly and making the original voice not play, but that is an option if you just have to have proper playback. I think making it play correctly makes for an ugly score in most cases.

I can't understand what it would mean to put a grace note after the main note. Do you mean you play the main note for its full duration, then there's a little note on its own? Normally I would expect this to be a grace note before the following note.
