Re: overriding accidental placement (padding)

[Mats Bengtsson]

First of all, your syntax for numerical values is wrong, secondly it
turns out that the property you want to use is padding. This is
certainly not clear from the documentation and the source code looks
too messy to be able to say exactly what the right-padding property
does, but my guess is that it's only relevant when you have a chord
with several colliding accidentals. So, try something like
  \property Score.AccidentalPlacement \override #'padding = #0.25
