Cleaning up syncopated notes
I'm having a hard time on cleaning up following passages:
I've been messing around with grace notes, breath marks, but I don't seem to find the right combination to capture the spirit of the syncopated notes, yet make them more readable.
The intent is to have a grace note preceding a hard-stopped dyad, right in the middle of the quavers. I.e. it's about the rhythm not the exact timing.
Anybody got an idea how to turn this into something better?

If you want an un-measured 'fast' gracenote, use an acciaccatura (the one with a slash) rather than an appoggiatura.
Apart from that, your notation appears clear. I don't understand your statement 'it's about the rhythm not the exact timing'. Rhythm IS timing. You've put the note at a precise rhythmic position. If that's where you want it to go, good. If you want it somewhere else, put it somewhere else.
