Grace notes on dotted notes played with wrong duration
Grace notes should occupy a small fraction of the duration of the note they're attached to. But when they're attached to dotted notes, they occupy 2/3 of that note's duration. See the attached example. I've tried versions 2.0.3 and the 2017-01-02-2249 nightly build, on Windows 7, 64-bit.

those are appoggiaturas (grace notes without slash through stem) and by convention are supposed to last half the length of normal notes or two thirds for dotted notes. This is correct. You presumably wanted an acciccatura - these have the slash through the stem. Those will play back quickly.
