Yes, with the added complication that if the grace note isn't at the
beginning of a bar, you also need a \partial statement to tell lily
where the next bar line is.

The last I used noteedit (some time ago), it didn't take .ly input.  I
would expect that taking ABC input would be easier than general
lilypond input.  Importing MIDI produced by abc2ly/lilypond or abc2midi might
help some with that route.  But in general, a lot of the information
you're going to want to add to the abc2ly-generated lily is going to
be stuff that noteedit doesn't deal with either.
