Is there a way to write a rule for a grace note? I'd like to be able to extend it a bit longer so it overlaps with the next one (that's what my VSTi wants), but can't find how to do that.

I haven't tested, but it could be as easy as:

Code: Select all

<rule remark="Grace Note?" enabled="true">
  <if technique="grac"/>
  <!-- do something -->
</rule>

Good luck

I don't "write" my rulesets using code, I use the ruleset editor. Unfortunately there's no way to select grace notes as either a note type, a technique or an articulation that I can see in the editor.

However, I think there may be a workaround. I typically increase the duration of slurred notes using a rule that recognizes notes under a slur. This makes it work with legato patches in my VI's. Since grace notes in my experience are always under slurs, this could work to do what you want.

Here's a rule in the editor for doing this:



Hope this helps!

I'm stuck in limbo between importing my old rules and using the editor. There are many inconsistencies, missing 'grac', e.g., as well as others that appear as techniques (qkud=Quick Up and Down) but then get translated as 'Circle' because the editor doesn't recognize the imported value--probably worthy of a support case.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to this.

I tried this, but I don't think it's working. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Can someone confirm that "grac" works? I'm using Notion 6.5.470, 64-bit (Mac).

Also, like you said, it gets translated to "Circle symbol" in the editor.
