Need to add a grace note? While it’s easy to select the Grace Note tool from the Simple Entry palette, it’s much faster to use a modifier key to quickly turn the Grace Note tool on or off. There’s a better way in Speedy Entry too:

Simple Entry:
Press Ctrl + G (Win) or Option + G (Mac) to indicate the next note will be a grace note. Use the same keystroke to switch back to “regular notes.”

Speedy Entry:
To change the previous note to a grace note, press G.
