{f'4->-.
 \once\override Script #'skyline-horizontal-padding = #0.2 %{ for a fiddler 
withold eyes %}
 f'4->-.
 \once\override Script #'vertical-skylines = #'() %{ just use boxes %}
 f'4->-. }

That is subtle.  We do have individual properties for each type of script, in 
scm/scripts.scm.
The downbow and similar could get skyline-horizontal-padding, leaving it zero for 
the > accent.

On the other hand, the special thing about > accents is not that we want other scripts to 
sidle up alongside, but rather that objects can come close to its straight lines and still 
remain visually clear.  More appropriate to reduce the individually-defined padding in for 
"accent" in scripts.scm.
