> Thanks David. Are after grace notes simply handled with positive grace time?

Notation Reference, "Grace Notes":

   If you want to end a note with a grace, use the ‘\afterGrace’
command.  It takes two arguments: the main note, and the grace notes
following the main note.

     \relative { c''1 \afterGrace d1 { c16[ d] } c1 }

   This will place the grace notes _after_ the start of the main note.
The point of time where the grace notes are placed is a given fraction
of the main note’s duration.  The default setting of

     afterGraceFraction = 3/4

may be redefined at top level.  Individual ‘\afterGrace’ commands may
have the fraction specified right after the command itself instead.

Notation Reference, "Available Music Functions":

‘afterGrace’ [music] - FRACTION [non-negative rational, fraction, or moment] 
MAIN (music) GRACE (music)
     Create GRACE note(s) after a MAIN music expression.

     The musical position of the grace expression is after a given
     fraction of the main note’s duration has passed.  If FRACTION is
     not specified as first argument, it is taken from
     ‘afterGraceFraction’ which has a default value of ‘3/4’.
