Hi Neil.

That can’t be the way to do it, even though it works. In pure principle, it’s 
way too much code complexity for the simplicity required. Just plain inelegant. 
Playing with your example, it is clear that lilypond is doing its maximum best 
to avoid a collision between the ledger lines and the accidentals of the note 
group in question. I tried using proportional notation on the example, but for 
me, it never really gets these issues right, no matter what duration you choose 
for the moment. Lilypond is so skilful at avoiding collisions that it always 
seems difficult to get it to behave otherwise. In the New Complexity School 
style music  I engrave, this issue comes up all the time, and the composer I 
work with is a stickler for the proportional notation being right, so I have a 
similar interest in this issue.

List gurus, what is the proper way to achieve the desired spacing in this case?

Andrew
