Absolutely evenly aligned table of chords ... with plenty of accidentals?

[Trevor Bača]

Hi,

OK, this is a type of challenge that's defeated me. I'm wondering if
anybody can reach a perfect solution?

What I'm wanting to do is print a table of chords. One chord per
measure. Measures in 1/4. The chords have lots of accidentals.

I'm picky about the spacing. So I want noteheads to align *vertically*
(between systems).

And I also want all barlines to align vertically between systems.

(I don't care about the accidentals aligning vertically between
systems; just the noteheads within the chords.)

The snippet here comes very, very close to this goal. But you can see
that the right edge is ragged (ie, that the last barlines don't align
vertically between systems).

Can anyone produce a perfect solution?
