Don: Yes, it's added (global) space *before* accidentals to
avoid clashing with preceding notes or bar-lines. "Global"
space because the space has to be added to all staffs to
keep notes horizontally synchronized. There's no convenient
way to do that in raw musixtex.
Here's an example, one measure from my version of barsant.
Save this as a file with .aspc extension and process using
autosp. The resulting .tex file will have \tqsk commands
before the notes with accidentals.
