The final \n in the overlay is a little irritating when the buffer is
folded, as it adds an extra line between the headlines. I changed it this,
which doesn't seem perfect but so far works for me:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results output
(require 'ov)
(org-map-entries
(lambda ()
(when (org-entry-get (point) "GRADE")
(setq ov (make-overlay (- (line-end-position) 1)
(+ 0 (line-end-position))))
(setq character (buffer-substring (- (line-end-position) 1)
(line-end-position)))
(overlay-put
ov 'display
(format "%s GRADE: %s" character (org-entry-get (point)
"GRADE"))))))
#+END_SRC
you need to run this to refresh the grades on the headlines when they

so I should probably make this into a function which can be called by the
function that writes grades...
