Hi Valentin,
> if you want you could tell Lilypond to ignore Accidentals in spacing
In concept, I love this idea… However it doesn’t work 100%:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.11"
\language "english"
\layout {
line-width = 3.5\in
ragged-right = ##f
}
ignoreH =
\propertyTweak horizontal-skylines ##f
\propertyTweak extra-spacing-width #empty-interval
\etc
ignoreV =
\propertyTweak vertical-skylines ##f
\propertyTweak extra-spacing-height #empty-interval
\etc
ignore = \ignoreH \ignoreV \etc
accidentalNoWidth =
\override Accidental.extra-spacing-width =
#(lambda (grob)
(let ((ext (ly:grob-property grob 'X-extent)))
(display ext)
(cons (interval-length ext) 0)))
\markup "No accidentals:"
\new Staff \with { \remove Accidental_engraver } <<
\clef bass \key bf \major
\voices 1,2 <<

\new Staff <<

>>
>>
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
As you can see:
1. \accidentalNoWidth doesn’t allow the notes to obtain “no accidental”
spacing, but at least keeps the accidentals uncrushed
2. \ignore allows the notes to obtain “no accidental” spacing, but everything
gets crushed requiring manual tweaking to reposition;
Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?
Thanks,
Kieren.
