I don't understand what you are trying to say here.  The symptoms of the
grace synchronization problem are the same as that of putting isolated
staff-creating elements into <<...>> so viewing the resulting PDF file
would not have made the actual problem visible.

And due to the non-minimality of the examples, ruling out the
acciaccature as the cause of the problem did require an experienced
user, namely Thomas Morley, to reduce the example to a minimal one in
order to figure out the root cause and exclude the acciaccature as
contributing to the problem.

Yes, in hindsight it would have been possible to spot the problem even
in the unabridged file since it clearly was present in there.
Unfortunately, hindsight is not available before arriving at the correct
conclusion.
