Hey all,

Hi Mike,
 

In the fourth staff of the attached PNG, the sharp of the E-sharp is dangerously flirty with the flag of the D-natural. Is there a sort of skyline padding one can add to flags or accidentals to give them more breathing room?

Here are two basic solutions:

\version "2.18.2"
\relative c''

{

  \key b \major

  \override Score.TimeSignature.stencil = ##f

  \tuplet 5/4 {

    ais8 b e4 d8*1/2 s % This one's bad !

  }

  \tuplet 5/4 {

    % maybe better :

    \once\override Staff.AccidentalPlacement.padding = #-.05

    eis,8 fis cis'8.[ bis]

  }

}

HTH,

~Pierre

Padding’s the winner!  Many thanks.

Cheers,

MS
