Thank you! This works, but unfortunately (like the Hydra's
heads) it introduces two other problems, one with horizontal
spacing collisions and one with ledger lines.
1. Because the spacing engine does not take into account this
low-level tweak, the tweaked notes sometimes collide with
bar/measure lines and sometimes with other adjacent notes. Is
there a way to use Scheme to also increase the horizontal space
given to the chord? (I am still a beginner at Scheme.)
Can't help with the second problem, but for the first you could
add additional horizontal space to either the barline or stem to
increase their separation:
\version "2.15.36"
barspace = #(define-music-function (parser location extent) (pair?) #{
\once \override Staff.BarLine #'extra-spacing-width = #extent
#})
stemspace = #(define-music-function (parser location extent)
(pair?) #{
\once \override Staff.Stem #'X-extent = #extent
#})
\relative c'' {
c2 c c c \barspace #'(0 . 2)
c c
\stemspace #'(-2 . 0) c c
}

This seems to do the trick as far as horizontal spacing is concerned:
\version "2.15.36"
#(define ((shift offsets) grob)
(let ((note-heads (ly:grob-array->list (ly:grob-object grob
'note-heads))))
(map
(lambda (p q) (set! (ly:grob-property p 'X-offset) q))
note-heads offsets)))
displaceHeads =
#(define-music-function (parser location offsets) (list?)
#{
\once \override NoteColumn #'before-line-breaking = #(shift offsets)
#}
)
{
\displaceHeads #'(0 1.2 0)
<c' e' g'>4
\displaceHeads #'(0 1.2 1.2)
<d' f' a'>
}
Hope this helps!

Actually, David's approach appears to fix both problems! Ledger lines
are extended and appear twice as wide, just like with other chords that
have notes on both sides of the stem. The horizontal spacing seems to
be working with standard noteheads. (Looks like a good candidate for
the LSR.)
Unfortunately a function I'm using to substitute custom stencils for
NoteHead grobs seems to disrupt the horizontal spacing in some instances
(particularly noticeable with bar lines). I haven't figured out the
pattern yet. But worst case, that's something I can fix manually using
the tweaks Nick suggested. Or maybe there is a way to expand David's
function to access the Stem from the NoteColumn and automatically give
it an X-offset too?
A stripped down version of my code is below, if anyone is curious. It
is still a bit long.
Again, thanks so much! I really appreciate it, as it would take me
forever to try and figure this stuff out on my own.
