Stems too long on beamed grace notes
In the attached example, note that the stems are too long on grace notes either before or after the note.
Moreover, it is also difficult to adjust the lengths manually. I succeeded once, but since then I have not been able to adjust the first note in the pair.

To edit the length of the stems for beamed notes, double click the beam, move the left handle.
Apparently for beamed grace notes, the default is for the stems to be the same length as regular notes. Whereas for non-beamed grace notes, the stems are shortened proportionately. I assume this is a bug as it makes no sense to do this deliberately. Could you file this to the Issue Tracker?

I have noticed that when grace notes fall within the region of multiple ledger lines, their stems are too short. I believe that's part of a known but unresolved issue posted back in January 2013, which which I've bumped up with a new comment: Issue #19633: Stroke of acciaccatura collides with ledger lines

This is bug #32591.
I see now. The stem length can be adjusted with the mouse.

The mouse isn't required; Up and Down Arrow keys (with CTRL or not) work, too.
I wonder if this bug, "Stems too long on beamed grace notes", issue 32591, is being ignored because it is thought to have been fixed. An identical bug, "Beamed grace note stems too high", issue 18933, was fixed in July 2013, and a similar bug, "Stem lengths for grace notes too long", issue 3795, was fixed as of Oct. 2010. Either it didn't really get fixed or this is a new regression.

This issue is still marked "active", and it's easy to reproduce, so no, I don't think anyone believes it is fixed. It's on my list of things to try to make sure are fixed before release.

Great. Thanks. :-)
