This would be an issue of LilyPond's aesthetic decisions, rather than
anything to do with the engraver.  You might try fooling around with
altering the horizontal spacing and seeing how this affects the result.
You can specify more packed spacing, and that might enable you to get the
result you're looking for without the override in the snippet. There's
another snippet on openlilylib which facilitates this:
