This is probably another instance of #34.  Since it crops up in so
many places, we stopped accepting bug reports about grace notes
over two years ago.  :(

That said, I'll dump a note in there about this monophonic

No; keep grace notes in the LM.  If/when the bug ever gets fixed,
we don't want to go hunting through the LM for old warnings.  All
bug-related info should be kept in the NR under @knownissues.
