In the Notation Reference (section 1.2.6.1 Grace notes) it says
that "Grace notes may be forced to align with regular notes in
other staves".

But if ragged-right is set to false, the grace notes are not
aligned with any other notes...

However, in Appendix B (B.13 Layout properties) the following is
written about strict-grace-spacing:
"If set, grace notes are not spaced separately, but put before
musical columns."

I'm not sure about the meaning of a "musical column", and
by now I'm a bit confused about this strict-grace-spacing thing.
I would assume that "putting grace notes _on_ musical columns"
means that they should be aligned with other notes. Putting
them _before_ musical columns might be what the latest version
does. Maybe the current output is ok, maybe this is the intended
behaviour. But in that case I don't understand the sentence in
1.2.6.1: "...to align with regular notes".
