Grace Noted Before Bar Lines

Hi Folks

I wanted to put the grace notes before the bar lines, and following the manual after selecting the grace notes, the properties panel does not show what the manual says…

Did something change?

See attached

I tried in engrave mode s well; mac OS 15.4; dorico 5.1

Thanks!

Maybe because the slur is selected also?

Good thinking!! Thanks!

Why didn’t I think of that…

There is this great option now to be able to change properties of stuff included in the selection, not only the properties that are common to all the elements selected… That would have let you change the grace notes property :wink:

Yes, thanks @MarcLarcher, I thought about that too actually.

Is it correct that the “grace before the bar line” property is still implementing this feature for all grace notes at the same rhythmic position instead of the highlighted grace notes only?

This bug which was already reported in 2021 or even 2020. I hope it can be fixed soon as a work around is tiresome.

It’s not a bug, because this is how Dorico is designed to behave, but we know that users would appreciate the option to determine this for grace notes on one specific staff.
