1. That was my intuition, but I’m glad to hear it confirmed.
2. The grace timing quirk — which has (“coincidentally”?!) been plaguing me on my current engraving project — will likely be even more bothersome in the type of “context-jumping” scores I’m talking about.

I’ll see what I can do about drawing up a reasonably-Minimum Working Example to act as an initial straw man.
