should depend on the tightness of music

The problem is that right-padding is calculated in order to calculate the  
springs that are then used in spring-and-rod calculations.

The only way this could be pulled off in the current model of LilyPond is  
if the padding is set as the smaller of the two values and then the larger  
accidental is slotted in if there is enough room, but this is supposing  
that the height of the two accidentals are the same.  Otherwise, the pure  
height approximations will use the larger of the two, which would lead to  
spacing weirdness in certain situations.
