Here's a quick hack using AmbitusLine:

shiftAmbitusHead =
#(define-music-function (parser location offset) (number?)
   #{
    \override AmbitusLine #'before-line-breaking =
    #(lambda (grob)
       (let* ((heads (ly:grob-object grob 'note-heads))
              (up-head (ly:grob-array-ref heads 1)))
         (ly:grob-set-property! up-head 'X-offset $offset)))
   #})

\new Voice \with { \consists Ambitus_engraver }
\relative c' {
  \shiftAmbitusHead #3
  c4 d e f
  g4 a b c
}

Cheers,
