That way round, it's confusingly similar to an extension of the
gracenote syntax that might also be desirable: different lengths
of gracenote in the same group, e.g. {g/ed/} (a combination you
find in pibroch notation). There isn't actually any ambiguity
(assuming an acciaccatura can only have one note and one length)
but it might make for puzzling error messages while editing.
Using \ instead wouldn't have the same problem, but would it
conflict with something else? Nobody's going to need an escape
or continuation immediately after a gracenote brace... are they?
