Title Grace notes do not play on percussion staves Grace notes play too quickly on percussion staves
Priority P1 - High

Are you sure? I think it might just be that it's too fast to hear, depending on context. But try making the grace note a crash symbol and the main note something else, I hear it pretty clearly :-). But sure, still worth improving.

Probably the reason it's more problematic for percussion is that the grace note is often the same pitch. That could be worth special cadig even for pitched staves - you can't repeat the same pitch as fast on piano or most instruments either.
