Question about Grace Notes

[Amigo]

Hi people,

So I just started looking into transcribing mmls earlier today, and I couldn't figure out how to include grace notes without messing up my whole time signature and desyncing my other tracks.

Does anyone know how to properly incorporate grace notes? ?

you essentially put the grace note value(s) in then take the beats of the grace note and remove it from the next non-grace note. for example if you have a grace note of a quaver/half note (which they usually are) then a minum note then you would write it as g8a8&a instead of g8a2. If you think g8 isnt fast enough you can try faster values i.e 16>32>64 etc. i.e g16a16&a8&a and so on

Just to clarify, did you mean g8a8&a4?

If so, I think I understand what you mean for the most part...Thanks for explaining!

they are both correct yea, i tend to write it in that format values so i know whats going on, so its a preference thing.
