I don't think there is a work-around at this point. https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/4391 If you compile the MRE below, you can see that not only are warnings issued, but the MIDI output is thrown off. In my mind, this makes the issue more than a warning; it's a defect. %%% \version "2.25.21" \include "articulate.ly" rightHand = \relative { \grace{ s8 } c'4 d e f | } leftHand = \relative { \clef bass \grace{ c8 } c4 d e f | } \score { \articulate { << \new Staff \rightHand \new Staff \leftHand >> } \layout {} \midi {} } %%% -- Knute Snortum
