I appreciate that reasoning, however the ability to set global behaviour
is one
of lilypond's major strengths - if overriding a default has to be
entered at every
usage of \afterGrace then we are back to making changes with sed
scripts.

The default value of 3/4 is almost always not appropriate, and I
regularly set this globally after entering the music to find a suitable
value.

Perhaps afterGraceFraction could be somehow included in graceSettings or
some other property of the Voice context?
