There is no simple Scheme command to move the notes around in the
display, you can use Measures->Display Effects->Widen Measures to widen
(all) the measures which will stop smaller notes crashing into the
accidental. The display is a pretty crude typesetter, only managing
enough to let you see the music reasonably clearly.
