Right. Putting them inside the brackets look a bit weird, but I felt it was a
bit more musically correct.

I didn’t know that. It is tradition that by default refer to being played at
half the value indicated, so perhaps the might be an implicit in
\scaleDurations 1/2 into \grace.

I tried that, but then one gets a bar.

But then the notes appear to the note before, and before the measure bar, which
is a different performance style, which is a good suggestion to give, because I
have a case where it might be used.
