Would you consider:
\relative {
\mark E
<<
{
<b''! gs f! d>8
}
\\
{
\once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #0.9
<b,! gs f! d>8
}
>>
}
Maybe it breaks the rules, but it looks easy to read to me.

Subject: Accidental placement with dense chord
Hello list,
I have a dense chord with a lot of accidentals I need to typeset. The
accidental placement that Lilypond comes up with looks a little too far from
the note heads for me, but I'm struggling to find something better. I came up
with three other configurations but I'm not sure which is better (see attached
and also the LilyPond source file that created them.)
A) is how LilyPond places the accidentals without any outside aid. B) is with
the accidentals in the same configuration, but a little closer to the note
heads. C) is how the edition I'm working from does it, and D) is my own stab at
it.
I have two questions: which looks better, A, B, C, or D? And is there a better
way to manipulate the accidental placements other than forcing the X-offsets?
