I've been trying to pmx typeset an example on what I refer to in Gardner Read's book. But I experience that it is almost impossible to control the position of the flat at the lower g:but if you replace the flats by sharps and put the most left one to the right, it will collaps with the upper one
g4f ze zdfA<.4 zcfA<.2 za zgfA>1.075 ze r2
with the above given offset argument the flat do-to-speak leaps _far_ away kilometers to the left while the value decreased to 1.074 makes the flat almost cling to the note. Strange?

It is very easy to work with it because of the tweak possibilities. I tried a sharp on the upper note of the last chord, with stem down. It collapsed a little bit

the b. then i tweaked 3 accidentals. This is the way it should go?
well - not quite according to Gardner Read in his 'Music Notation' 2nd ed., Boston 1969. On page 134 there is a series of examples on placement of accidentals in chords alonq with some comments on rules and guidelines for placement of accidentals. None of these examples, some of them being comparable to the below example, have the accidentals cascading leftwards from the top like in chord 2 and 3 below. Among the main principles is to have as few accidental 'columns' as possible.
Generally I recommend Gardner Read's book (evaluated as _the_ standard in the Lilypond engraving bibliography). Unfortunately it is out of print and must be purchased second hand. I managed to do so a few months ago.
