Gap after quarter note and before grace note

[Knute Snortum]

Hi again.

I noticed that lilypond leaves a little more space between a quarter
note and a grace note than I'd like, but if the grace note is before
an eighth note, it's fine.  See MWE and attached:

%%%
\version "2.22.2"

\relative c'' {
  c4^"gap before grace notes" \grace { c8[ c c] } c8. c16 c4 c
}

\relative c'' {
  c4^"no gap" c8. c16 \grace { c8[ c c] } c4 c
}
%%%

I can adjust the note column X-offset to get close to what I want, but
then the grace notes move away from the next note.  Not optimal.

%%%
\relative c'' {
  c4
  \override NoteColumn.X-offset = -1.25
  \grace { c8[ c c] }
  \revert NoteColumn.X-offset
  c8. c16 c4 c
}
%%%

Is there a better way to do this?  Any suggestions are appreciated.
