You must put grace skips in all staves when a grace note is at the start of a
piece.

Subject: Strange behavior with grace notes
When the first notes of a piece are grace notes, if there are other voices, or
other staves in the piece, the grace note is set in a separate bar, and then
the time signature and key are printed again. I notice the same thing with
appoggiatura and accacciatura. I tried to make this example as minimal as i
could.
\version "2.18.2"
global = {
\key f \minor
\time 3/4
}
tenorI = \relative c' {
\global
c2.
}
tenorII = \relative c' {
\global
\grace {c16 des16} c4 des8 des8 c8
}
baritone = \relative c {
\global
\dynamicUp
c2.
}
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff \with {\clef "treble_8"
} <<
\new Voice = "tenorI" { \voiceOne \tenorI }
\new Voice = "tenorII" { \voiceTwo \tenorII }
>>
\new Staff \with {
} <<
\clef bass
\new Voice = "baritone" { \voiceOne \baritone }
>>
>>
\layout { }
}
if I comment out the tenorI voice and the baritone voice the grace note works
fine. But if I uncomment either the problem returns.
Any light anyone can cast on this would be much appreciated!
John
