Comment #7 on issue 415 by address@hidden: Hidden accidental of tied  
note still takes space
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=415

I did some looking into this recently to see if I could fix it. What I  
found is that
we have a circular dependency situation: the line-break code needs to know  
how much
space the accidentals are taking up to know when to insert line breaks, but  
tied
accidentals will be printed only if the measure is the first measure in the  
line,
making accidental spacing dependent on line breaks.

When I realized that, I decided that fixing it required more knowledge of  
the
LilyPond code than I possess. A possible solution I came up with (but do  
not know how
to implement) would be to have the accidentals take up space when the line  
breaks are
calculated, but then re-calculate the spacing within each line after  
deciding where
the line breaks are, removing tied accidentals where appropriate.
