In contrast, grace notes in typesetting are usually _not_ aligned.
Grace notes in one voice may even overlap previous moments of other
instruments (See Gould, first image p.128): "This facilitates
score-reading, as it prevents distorted note-spacing of a single
beat"(Gould).
An appoggiatura comes _on_ the beat, with the main note following it
without additional spacing, acciaccature come _before_ the beat. We
should really only have one NoteColumn per _main_ time (and not on grace
times), and in the case of appoggiature, it should align on the
appoggiatura itself, whereas for normal grace notes and acciaccature, it
should align on the main note.
Gould: "Grace notes are placed before the position of the beat
regardless of whether they are prerformed on or before the beat."
In either case, grace notes and main
notes should be next to each other without doing _any_ NoteColumn kind
of alignment for vertically aligning material within the grace timing.

Gould: "When there are two parts on one stave, align the grace notes of
the two parts.

When two parts with grace notes are on separate staves, it may be more
helpful visually to close up grace notes to the following measured
value, regardless of vertical alignment)."
