Hello everyone

I'm trying to write Paganini Caprice n.5 in finale, this is the beginning measures:

I've tried using grace notes, but when I start playback I get a mess out of my speakers...

How should I write this?

Go to Document Options > Grace Notes - under "Playback Duration", set to a longer duration. That might be at least a good first step.

Eventhough it slows the grace notes it doesn't solve the problem.
Graces notes start to playback from the beginning, not after first quarter.

I set grace notes to 64 and it got better. 32 even better. With 32 (128th note), the main notes hold longer before the grace notes.
