Hi.
Playing with \afterGrace (rather simply "typing" it) i've found this somewhat strange. Documentation says that \afterGrace should last 3/4 of of the length of the main note by default and this fraction may be changed. But looking at the picture i would rather say that it lasts for "some small value" and "wastes" 3/4 (1/2 in the last staff) of the length of the main note (makes it "void"). Listening to midi -- it sounds in the middle of the note (for the last staff), really (as a separate track?).
