Sounds like the same issue I ran into a month or two ago. Basically, in
every part that doesn't have the same grace notes, you need to insert
spacer grace notes. For example:
\score {
<<
\new Staff { % part with grace notes
\grace{a16 b c} | a4 b c |
}
\new Staff { % part without grace notes
\grace{s8.} | a4 b c |
}
\new Staff { % another part without grace notes
\grace{s8.} | f4 g a |
}
>>
}
Note that the grace notes appear only in the first staff, but the grace
spacers are needed in the other parts in order for everything to line up
correctly.
If you use Dynamics contexts or other such things (such as a global
variable to put tempo markings and such), they will also need to include
similar spacer grace notes. Otherwise you may see weird alignment
issues and other such artifacts.
