Hi Keith, Thanks for the detailed explanation, I think I understand the situation well now.

Unfortunately my case of avoiding manual tweaks is not simple laziness: I work with generative music, which means that I will give the performers a computer program rather than a score, and I will let them generate a new version of a work by themselves. This means that I have absolutely no chances of ever tweaking that .ly file. Nevertheless, I am trying to play around with staff-padding but the results are not very good. Sometimes the ottavas are way too high, sometimes the collision problem appears again. Thanks a lot for your reply, I really appreciate it.
