Comment #11 on issue 1700 by [email protected]: Chord names collide when
several note-columns lay in between
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1700
There is a working patch at

Generalizing the method of finding spacing constraints between non-adjacent
columns strains code-comprehensibility in some already-strained code, so
probably I will put it aside for a week and then overhaul with fresh eyes.
The regression tests with cross-staff slurs are changing for no good reason.
