Hi foxfanfare,

You already reported that bug earlier and it was listed as issue 5385: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/5385/
It got the status “Ugly”, not only “Enhancement”, so it is seen as a bug.

Do you mean the too wide space directly before any accidentals? As I 
said at 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2018-07/msg00041.html 
(and this made it’s way to the issue tracker), horizontal spacing in 
general is ugly here and I suppose that the accidental problem is just 
one facet of the problem.

I wish I could give a constructive answer to your problem but for now I 
don’t have time to tackle this issue :(
