I'm not saying that it works incorrectly.  Parallel music is
synchronized at the time point 0.  Sequential music is executed in
sequence.

The behavior in this case is quite logical.

It would make some sense to move context creation backward in time
before simultaneous grace music in order to maintain top-down order in a
