Beam Length Query

[grammerfest]

Hi all,

I think it's a tribute to the lilypond documentation that in 2/3 years of
Lilypond usage this is my first time feeling the need to post a question
here.

I'm trying to find a way in which to extend a beam horizontally so that it
spans the full duration of a note. 

I suppose that in an ideal world this would mean a beam spanner covering
\afterGrace. 

Is is possible to somehow (via scheme perhaps) grab the position of a grace
note and extend the beam right-extent (or some such) to this position? Or is
there some other way in which I can tackle this problem?

Below is a mock up of the sort of thing I'm after (though obviously the
positioning here is just effected by altering Stem #'stencil):


\version "2.14"
\relative c'' {
        g8[
        \once \override Stem #'layer = #2
        \once \override Stem #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
        \once \override Stem #'text = \markup \combine 
                                                                                
\raise #2
                                                                                
\override #'(thickness . 1)
