The description of the property is incorrect.

A musical columnt is the X-position corresponding to a point in time;
clefs and time signature are on 'command columns' , notes on 'musical
columns'.  Each point time (including separate grace notes) has its
own musical and command columns.

strict-grace-spacing makes the musical columns for grace notes
'floating', ie. discoupled from the non-grace notes: first the normal
notes are spaced, then the (musical columns of the) graces are put
left of the musical columns for the main notes.

Can someone update the documentation?

thanks!
