Learn how to create and edit Grace Notes in MuseScore2.
To complete this tutorial learners will need to have the following:
This tutorial is at an beginner level.
MuseScore makes it straightforward to add new elements to your score. In many cases you can drag and drop elements from the Pallettes window to your score. Each elements has its own unique parameters for editing once it has been added to your score.
To create a grace note you can use the Pallettes window at the left of MuseScore. Choose the type of grace note you need and drag it to the note you wish to apply the grace note. The note will appear on the same pitch as the main note. You can then drag the grace note to the desired pitch.
To edit the position of the grace note with respect to the main note you can click on it and use the Inspector settings. This will give you a great deal of control over how the note looks.
There are two ways to create a grace not slur. It can be created by dragging in a slur from the Pallettes window at the left and dropping it on the first note of the slur. You can also select the first note of the slur and go to the top menu Add -> Lines -> Slur. This will place a slur at the desired note. You can then use the edit points on the slur to shape it as you desire.
MuseScore2 is an open source application, which means that it is free for everyone to use. Please consider going to the developers' website and show your support for the project - https://musescore.org
