Minutiae of grace note spacing

Hi all,

here is something that I find my self correcting often:

The first grace note is positioned too far to the left because of the sharp sign, so it does not match the spacing of the second grace note. I solve it with the note spacing tool, but I have to do it twice because it does not propagate between score/part.

This problem arises when the main note has an accidental.
Better ways?

You can try to decrease the minimum distance between rightmost grace note and rhythmic item in Engraving Options > Notes > Grace Notes

Thanks for reminding me about that one!

Setting 1/2:

Setting 1/8:

There seems to be no change to the spacing without accidental. Curious.
If I set it to 1 …

… the spacing before notes without accidental is increased a bit, but not so much as when the accidental is present.

Is there any other setting at play here?
