    Dear ToneLib team,

    If possible, please enable grace notes on drum track in ToneLib Jam so we could add flams and rolls to the score.

    As far as I can see it works for other instruments but not for drums. However, grace note symbols are widely used in drum scores as well.

    If I open a GP or midi file that has such notes it is displayed correctly. I could even add it to .song files manually by unpacking them and editing the "the_song.dat" file. When I open those files in ToneLib Jam that given note is not selectable but the next one is and it even highlights the "Grace" button on the Note tab but it's not editable. It would be much more convenient if we could manage them from the UI.

    Best Regards,
    David

    Adding grace notes and flams directly within the UI for drum tracks would definitely improve the workflow and make editing much easier. It's awesome that you've found a workaround by modifying the .song files, but having native support would save so much time. Hopefully, the ToneLib team considers this in a future update!

    Hey ToneLib team, great software! While ToneLib Jam handles grace notes well for most instruments, drum tracks feel a little incomplete without them. Enabling grace notes for drums would unlock so much more creative potential, especially for flams and rolls!
