That works nicely, on both the original music example we looked at
on -user, and my new favorite example:
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }
\version "2.13.43"
{ \clef bass
% \override Accidental #'extra-spacing-height = #'(-0.5 . 0.5)
\repeat unfold 8 {f8 bes bes f }
}
The rising line of notes is usually spaced a little further apart, when
possible, to compensate for the optical effect oval shape of the heads, as
you and Janek have been discussing recently. The accidental seems to
cause LilyPond (all versions) to revert to the spacing for a
constant-pitch series. This makes some sense because the accidental
destroys the oval-shape illusion, but it looks strange when the accidental
is crowded and nearby notes are spaced with the optical correction in
place.
The extra-spacing-height seems to do just the right thing. True, it gives
no extra space when the interval is larger {c be be f } but neither did
2.12.3 and I think we don't need it there.
