You could try tweaking the slope via '(bound-details right Y) though you'll also have to force the spanners closer to the beams to compensate for the inflexible skylines. With a bit of clever coding,it might be possible to generate the correct bound-details informatio automatically (the code for tuplet bracket sloping might provide some inspiration).
