OK... I didn't know that.

Yes... but only very little, if you use "s64"
For my use this is better. I care about typesetting, but I care even
more about easily maintainable code because I often re-arrange and make
ad-hoc publications for courses.
So I'm willing to compromise a slight shift in one voice for not having
to duplicate hacks in all voices.

Yes... you're right. The use of \grace is not necessary, but it makes a
smaller tie, which IMHO seems more correct.
