It's a known bug. It will work if you insert dummy grace notes into the beginning of each part, i.e. \grace s8 The problem is that the beginning of part 2 and 3 are done at time 0, while the beginning of part 1 is done 'just before' time 0 due to the grace note; by inserting dummy grace notes they will all start 'just before' 0.
