The defaults for graces are defined in music-functions.scm, look for
`general-grace-settings'.
They can be adjusted by remove-grace-property/add-grace-property. See
NR for usage.

Here an example:

\relative c'' {
  \new Staff {
    $(remove-grace-property 'Voice 'Stem 'direction)
    $(add-grace-property 'Voice 'Stem 'length-fraction 04.6)
    \new Voice {
       \acciaccatura { f16 } g4
       \grace { d16 e } f4
       \appoggiatura { f,32 g a } e2
    }
  }
}

HTH,
