Sorry, I totally forgot I was using articulate.ly (I copied the template from another project and overlooked this). I guess the way articulate.ly handles grace notes is by stealing time from the preceding notes, but since there are none, it tries to do it with the following note instead and somewhere along the line gets confused. Maybe I should add some dummy rests to the beginning of the piece in the midi score, while using the spacer rest workaround for the layout score. Thanks for the tips.
