Windows 7, GIT commit: d26a8df

1) create score in 4/4
2) measure 1, note entry
2) add whole note in voice 1, two half notes in voice 2
3) add two beamed sixteenth grace notes to the whole note

Result: second grace note is extremely close to the whole note

The code for placing grace notes does not deal with the extra width of the whole note properly. Also, inexplicably, the spacing for grace note inexplicably uses dotNoteDistance rather than minNoteDistance. dotNoteDistance defaults to being slightly larger than minNoteDistance and thus partially masks the problem.

The trigger has nothing do do with multi-voice - it's a matter if the whole note "upstem" (or would be if it had a stem) or not. So the same result is seen with a single "A" on the staff as with a "C" in the upper voice.

Symptom very different, but underlying cause the same: put a C in voice, B just below in voice 2 (resulting in the B displaced to right), then attach grace note to the B. Result: the grace note overlaps the C in voice 1. Again, the displacement of the chord is not being taken into consideration.
