Is it possible to disable the 'snap to grid' or 'snap to object' features temporarily? That is, do I have to wait until I open a new patch before the changes take place?

I often need to disable the 'snap' functions to align certain objects manually, but I find myself having to deselect the 'snap' functions, close the patch, and reopen it.

There must be an easier way. Am I missing something?

You can use the arrow keys to move a selected object. Not sure if this is much help?

Take a look at the "Snap to Grid" command in the Arrange menu, and you'll see that it has a command key equivalent for toggling it on and off: command-option-G.

Just what I was looking for! I was wondering where the option went to!

Not sure if this is helpful for your situation, but to override alignment guides and snapping, you can hold down the cmd key while moving objects around.
