Thanks - that's perfect.  The difficulty I had was that I couldn't figure out what class of object an accent is.  I had already tried

\override TextScript.avoid-slur = #'inside

but this of course doesn't work.  I couldn't find out from the documentation how accents etc. are classified, although I expect it is there somewhere.

I tried Googling for "Lilypond articulations" and looking at the hits that pointed to the notation reference manual quickly led me to https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-attached-to-notes where it says:

"The type of grob that an articulation creates depends on what it is attached to.

    On notes or ordinary rests, articulations create Script objects.
    On multi-measure rests, articulations create MultiMeasureRestScript objects.
    On \caesura, articulations create CaesuraScript objects. "
