Steph,
Make the grace and the acciaccatura the same duration. Either both 8 or both 16.

I've got some parts that have grace notes at the very beginning. The grace notes are appearing before the initial clefs, time sigs, and key sigs. It's hard to describe, please check out the attached image. I'm sure there's some setting I'm missing, but I could use some help on this one. 🙂 ~Steph
