So how do I do what I want to do?

In Caro Mio Ben, bar 8, there's a syllable that starts on a note, and
ends on a pair of grace notes.  Standard practice is to mark this with
a slur starting on the main note and ending on the grace note, so a
singer knows where to break the words.

In bar 26, there's a \p marker that should appear below the grace
note.

In bar 27, there's a crescendo that's supposed to start at the start
of the grace notes and extend to the note after the grace notes.

How do I specify these?

How can I control whether a grace note takes its time from the note
before or the note after it (for the purposes of alignment with
lyrics)?
