The first thing to do is to create a new blank score put in two whole
notes in the first two bars. Then at the end of the first bar insert a
grace note and, with the cursor on it, execute the after grace command.
Check that this is working in the Print View.
The LilyPond syntax you should see in the LilyPond View is this
MvmntIVoiceI = {
\attachGraces #3/4 c''1 \grace {d''8} \AutoBarline
c''1 \AutoEndMovementBarline
}
along with the definition of attachGraces immediately above the music.
If this is all good, then the problem will lie in something else in
your score. You could compare what you have in your score at the place
where you have invoked the Denemo after grace command to see what is
different. You could post the it here if you would like a second pair
of eyes on it.
