Original report by Dmytro O. Redchuk:
-------------------------------------

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?).
