I only noticed another problem after sending this email: the invisible
grace note still affects the ambitus, and because it’s \absolute it can
be quite far away from the rest of the voice. I fixed that by using a
drum note instead of the argument $note for the grace:

extendedNote =
#(define-music-function
     (parser location note)
     (ly:music?)




   #{
     \afterGrace 15/16 $note { \once \hideNotes \drummode { bd } }




   #})
