I have this all the time in the New Complexity School music I engrave. The way I approach it is to give up the idea of grace notes and make the RH a tuplet say 30:18 or whatever (sorry I have not counted it) and then reduce the size of the notes to grace note size, and if you need a slash you can use my OLL slash module.

The thing about graces is they take no musical time, but the notes in the Chopin clearly do occupy time duration in the musical space.

Spacing re barlines is a separate issue, but one step at a time. [I'd have to knock this up to answer that.]

I am engraving Chopin's "minute waltz" and I'm having trouble with the last few bars.  Chopin writes grace notes with no bar lines in the right hand but metered bars in the left.
