Oct 25, 2021 at 15:32 comment added Michael Curtis @Aaron Yes, but the comment seems to be about a malfunction of the software, not a Musescore "how to" question. Unless it's a matter of changing some option in Musescore, no amount of discussion here will change how Musescore plays back. The question in your comment about interpretation of the graces (before or after the barline) would seem the topic to discuss on this forum.
Oct 25, 2021 at 15:17 comment added Aaron @MichaelCurtis That's a bit unfair, since we routinely address MuseScore questions and issues.
Oct 25, 2021 at 13:12 comment added Michael Curtis @Dekkadeci, OK, but Musescore has a forum of their own, about their software.
Oct 23, 2021 at 12:04 comment added Esther @Dekkadeci i think the extra effort taken to notate it with grace notes (instead of the wavy line used for arpeggiation starting on the beat) should make it clear to a human that theyre anticipatory.
Oct 22, 2021 at 23:58 comment added Dekkadeci @MichaelCurtis - If Musescore won't play the notation as we want it to, I am greatly concerned that human players will interpret the notation the same way as Musescore.
Oct 22, 2021 at 19:30 comment added Michael Curtis I wish there was a better way to link duplicate question. The one has such better, more findable title that the "adding one note at a time" post.
Oct 22, 2021 at 19:28 comment added Michael Curtis @Dekkadeci, the question is how to notation, not get Musescore to play it.

Oct 22, 2021 at 14:56 comment added Aaron @Dekkadeci As best I can tell, there is currently no way to get MuseScore to play grace notes before the beat — it seems not to be implemented. In actual musical practice, I think it would have to be explicitly stated, since there's no broad agreement about when grace notes should be played, and practice varies between eras and composers. It is permissible, if frowned upon, to place grace notes before the bar line, which would make things clear in this setting. But to do that in MuseScore requires placing them at the end of the previous beat/measure.
Oct 22, 2021 at 11:57 comment added Dekkadeci Musescore 3.X will interpret these grace notes by default as occurring on the beat, not before the beat. (I distinctly remember Musescore 1.X as doing the opposite, and the switch occurred in Musescore 2.0.) Do you know a way to ensure that the grace notes get played before the beat besides the trill-ending tactic of placing them at the end of the previous beat or by using words to explain this?
