It's the infamous Issue 34. It is certainly the most commonly asked
question on the list. I hold out hope it will one day be solved. I
have a 300 page string quartet with hundreds of grace notes and I have
to spend a lot of time adding spacers in three other voices to get it
to work. Needless effort that affects everybody. We had a technical
discussion on the list recently as to why this is so difficult for
lilypond to fix, but I still wish it could be solved.

Thanks you, I thought I remembered that this had come up before but 
didn't remember a solution.  THis is easy enough to execute.  Thank you 
for the timely response.

That's LilyPond's most famous bug: If a piece starts with grace notes,
they have to be in all voices (and of the same length). Otherwise,
funny things of the sort you experienced will happen.

So, add \grace s8. in the left hand right after \clef bass. (You can
also try to insert it _before_ the \clef; the resulting change might
make it clear what's going on here.)

I am looking for 2-3 dancers various abilities/disciplines for a piece
Called The Box it was scheduled for November  but we know how that has
gone. However I am interested in making videos of the moves and having
dancers work on them and the music before we can get into the same
room... Paid rehearsals and the door divided evenly by participants.
Spread the word please.
