Which is needless to say, the whole philosophical basis of Lilypond and
it's huge strength.

Dear Valentin
This is really splendid. Thank you for explaining the limitations of
extra-space-height and how to overcome them.
I agree that lilypond requires but a small tweak, I'm typesetting some
simple chorales at the moment, and there's really very little to tweak!

Dear William
Thank you for this. The extra-spacing-width option is splendid, but
–like you – I like solution #2 better, and it works perfectly!

Dear Paul,
Thank you for this. I didn't know *1/2 was an option at all. While it's
definitely a hack – unashamedly so, even – I'm sure this little trick
will come in handy!

Hello Jakob,
try to do something like this:
\tweak extra-spacing-width #'(-1.5 . 0) a'
this will tell Lilypond to add 1.5 spaces to the left of the stem for spacing.
In this case this will work out, but say if the d and the f# the beat before
were an octave higher there would be no collision,
Dear Jakob,
It must be a nice /piece d'orgue/ ;) (this has lost some of its comedic
value as others have already answered)
I can think of two solutions to this problem.
1. You can override NoteHead.extra-spacing-width = #'(left . right). For
example, #'(-4 . 0)
so:
% ---
leftOne = \relati
In fact Breitkopf's new Bach edition has somewhat more generous spacing that
doesn't require a tweak.
Overriding LilyPond's very clever spacing algorithm is a dark art to me. I'm
having to do a lot of it right now, but my approach is unashamedly hacky - but
it works for me! Anyway, my tota
