Thanks for your persistence, Eluze, You're right, I'm using version 2.12.3. It's good to know that when I upgrade to the new version, I should be able to get it to work. In version 2.12.3, it's not really bad, but the tie clips the bottom of the sharp sign.
Remember, I started by wanting to reproduce a figure from a book, which looks just fine with the divided tie. Although, I think you're probably right: if I was going with the divided tie option, I suspect I would have to increase the distance between the first two grace notes, because otherwise there's no much of the tie before it disappears behind the sharp sign.
