Yes (see below).

Why do you use a brace after c1?  It is more confusing than useful.

afterGraceFraction is not listed in the Tunable context properties
(Program reference), and the manual doesn't tell you to use \set.  Why
not try to set afterGraceFraction as a variable, like showLastLength for
example?  It's better to set it not at toplevel, so you should use this
syntax:

#(define afterGraceFraction '(1 . 2))

where you can also use (cons 1 2) instead of '(1 . 2)

I've also fixed this in Git.
