This topic has a vast literature which I don't know.  You
must have a proper kpathsea installation and whatnot, search
the archives for more info.  For me it just worked.

Exactly.

In chords, ie. between < > noteheads should be put on
opposite sides of the stem in such a case.  Otherwise you
can use \voiceOne ... Four for different stem directions and
horizontal offsets.  See 'Polyphony' in the manual.  If
these are not enough, you can still \set extra-offset to
your liking, see 'Constructing a tweak' and 'Tuning objects'.

Source is OK, ps is generally too big.  You can attach a
small .png or provide a download link.
