You could try overriding the value of the 'right-padding property
of the AccidentalPlacement object, which lives in the Staff context.
This controls the separation between a group of accidentals and the
associated note(s).  There's an example of its use in the 2.11
Learning Manual.  See "right-padding" in the index.
