Turning off bar length validation (in terms of total note values)

• Aug 12, 2023 - 18:32

Hi folks,

New to MuseScore, trying to write a bagpipe score. Bagpipe music pretty much never has bars where the total note value adds up to only say 4 1-beat notes in a 4/4 piece of music - our music is plastered with ornamentation, similar to this link:

I'm trying to add ornamentation to a piece, but it starts messing with note values of the melody notes. Is there a way to turn of this automatic adjustment?

For example, comparing screenshots where, I only want to insert the G gracenote, and not change the melody values by having three chopped up B's behind it.

Help will be appreciated!

What about using grace notes for the ornamentation rather than normal notes then you can keep it all in 4/4. here's the first 4 bars:
