By golly!  Invisible and inaudible grace notes!  Works great!  Could
I trouble you to explain how that works?  The invisible part is
straightforward, and I'm guessing the silent rest somehow makes the
grace note silent?

Also, I ended up using a more complex but more readable syntax:

        \once \override Rest #'transparent = ##t
        \grace { g32 \rest \( } c4 g8 c4. \) |

Since it wasn't immediately obvious that you took a shortcut by
typing in the terms after \grace without any spaces.

Thanks,
