cross-staff gracenotes
I'm creating a score in which I have gracenote groups which cross the staves (in a harp part)--although they can be created quite well, when I get to the spacing/layout phase, they will frequently mess up--sems and beams get lost.
Also, is there a way to increase the spacing between individual notes in a gracenote group? ledger lines and stems often intersect.

This seems to be rather unpredictable--when I save, close, and re-open the score, they correct thenselves.
If moving a grace note to another staff causes the beam to disappear, I undo the note move, adjust the beam in the opposite direction that I'm moving the note, then move the note again and I don't lose the beam off the edge of the screen. I should have submitted a bug report for this but I was busy with other things when I was running into the issue. I submitted about 5 to 10 other issues at that time, some have already been fixed.
For the space between grace notes, you can move the note to the left or right by adjusting the x offset in the Chord section. There is no easy way to group select only some of the grace notes, so it's often easiest to do it one note at a time.

Thanks--adjusting the x offset on the the individual gracenotes seems to work, EXCEPT that at some point the right side of the whole group collides into the main note--I can't figure how to adjust its position without moving the gracenotes as well.

You can use negative numbers and the grace notes will move away from the main note and MuseScore will also make room for them.
