Actually, apart from 'extra-offset, there are no properties listed in
either section which would be useful for fixing James's problem, since
it relates to 'outside-staff-priority overriding 'avoid-slur, as I
pointed out earlier in the thread.

The same issue is responsible for your second 'bug' with musica ficta,
since AccidentalSuggestion also has a default for
'outside-staff-priority.
