Thanks, man.
yeah, I was hoping there is some option to change the order of accidentals.
The tweak is ok, but maybe not very practical in a very large piece. This
exact chord did show up in a piece I'm transposing for a singer and in the
end I chose to remove the natural sign from the low c, since it was
actually just a cautionary accidental with not much probability of error by
the pianist. This was most a theoretical question in case I need to do this
in the future.

Re: Position of accidentals in chords
Hi Caio,
I'm not sure if there's a way to customize the coded order of accidentals,
and for some reason tweaking the X-offset property doesn't seem to work
either. In your case, making a couple of manual tweaks to the flat's and
double-flat's extra-offset properties (which are added after all the
positioning calculation is done) will at least get them in order. The only
downside is that there's extra space between the accidentals and the
barline, left over from calculating the accidentals' original positions.
I'm not sure how to get rid of that...
\relative c' {
1
1
}
Hope this helps,
Owen

Position of accidentals in chords
Hello,
In the example below:
\relative c' {
1
1
}
Notice the difference in the position of the flat symbol in the G-flat. For
me, particularly, I find the first chord much more clean: after the double
flat, closet to the note (and it occupies less space). Is there a way to
change the position of the flat symbol? I was unable to find it in the
documentation.
Also, I thought that Lilypond decided to move the flat further to the left
because part of the natural sing in the C note would collide with it, but
changing the size of the accidentals with somethin like
\override Accidental.font-size = #-3
Doesn't seem to make a difference.
