Aha, perfect! This has been most fortunate. I have posed these
questions to the list previously, but couldn't get any good answers
then. Now both my remaining problems with achieving perfect bagpipe
notation have been adressed. Happy, happy, joy, joy!

And, for the record, my \pgrace function now looks like this:

pgrace = #(define-music-function (parser location notes) (ly:music?)
  #{ \override Score.GraceSpacing #'spacing-increment = #0
     \override Score.Stem #'beamlet-default-length = #'(0.6 . 0.6)
     \grace $notes
     \revert Score.Stem #'beamlet-default-length
  #}
)

Thanks a lot
