1. That was my intuition, but I’m glad to hear it confirmed.

2. The grace timing quirk — which has (“coincidentally”?!) been plaguing me on 
my current engraving project — will likely be even more bothersome in the type 
of “context-jumping” scores I’m talking about.

I’ll see what I can do about drawing up a reasonably-Minimum Working Example to

Thanks,
