An interesting solution. Detaching at tempo would seem to be
a challenge. Nevertheless, it is a proper paper solution to a
paper problem.

If they are grace notes, their time value must come from
somewhere. If it comes from the following note, the grace
notes start on that beat. How can the legatura mark
change that? Sometimes under beams the
grace note comes from the previous note. Isn't it a good
idea to indicate that with a legatura? It often isn't.
IAC, if writing grace notes before a bar means that
their time does not come from the first beat, where
does it come from if not the previous note? Logically
belonging is not the issue, time is.

Of course the worst time for an arbitrary hesitation or break is
before a bar line, but that has nothing whatever to do with where
the time value comes from.

Of course you could write small notes that are not grace
notes, but if you are inserting time into a measure would
it not be good to provide for it somehow? And would not the
presence of a legatura (slur mark) or legato (phrase mark) do
nothing but confuse the issue if spanning a bar line?

The legature spanning small notes don't make any difference in
their execution anyway, so the marks are used to indicate
where the time comes from, or for decoration.

I apologize for not making this much shorter. It's late. :-)

Wonderful, David! Thanks so much. I've been trying to get \afterGrace to
work nicely on acciaccaturas before a bar line for a long time, but
\afterGrace always leaves too much space before the barline. Your cheat is
perfect.

Thanks again,

 Does anyone know how to place an \acciaccatura *before* the barline?
 I'm using the following in copying a score, and where the original
 shows it before the bar, Lily wants to place it after the barline.
 I'm thinking that the original is perhaps musicologically wrong, but
 accurate in its intent with the timing of the snippet.

 Line of music follows:

 cis' g' a4-\sfz r r2 | r r4 a4( \mf \acciaccatura { b16[ cis] } |
 d4-.) cis e-. d fis-. b d-. |

 I've placed the barcheck '|' where the original shows it, but Lily
 places the barline before the acciaccatura.  Otherwise the
 construction looks fine.  So my question is, how can I force the
 barline *before*, or should I not even try, because it *should* be
 after, as shown?

Use the \afterGrace command:

  cis' g' a4-\sfz r r2 | r r4 \afterGrace a4( \mf { b16[ cis] } |
  d4-.) cis e-. d fis-. b d-. |
