Issue 34 in our issue tracker.  Put a matching grace in the other Staff
to let both start at the same point of time.  Something like \grace { s8
} is perfectly fine to match a \grace { c8 } (or whatever it was, I did
not actually look).  It's a "known issue" in the manual section covering
grace notes but frequently overlooked.
