I agree that this is a very special case, and you could consider the
typesetting as part of Satie's style.
But in general I'd say the standard engraving is "better".

Maybe there *is* an elegant, although not automatic, solution for this
case. I would apply the override through the edition-engraver. With this
you can apply one override to a whole list of moments.

This approach would have the additional benefit that you don't have to
mix the overrides with the content, and you can simply use them or not,
thus switching between "correct" and "idiomatic" engraving style.
