Jon, could you post an image that shows, or describe precisely how, you would like these chords to appear? Could you also say what you think should happen to shorter notes (with stems) in these same chords. My question is, what does anyone suggestion as a practical solution? What could I instruct my program to do, if it is about to output a chord with two note heads on the same line or space of the staff? There are ways of changing the positions of note heads and accidentals in a chord relatively easily as long as no stems are involved. If you show exactly what you want I'm sure someone will come up with a solution in any specific case. A general solution would be more difficult, though.

notehead collisions in cluster
Hi. I wrote a program in C that finds the solutions, if any exist, to a
compositional problem specified in the command line. One of the output
formats is lilypond. Some of the solutions involve clusters that lilypond
does not display very well--noteheads overlap vertically, making them
illegible, and accidentals collide, or are misplaced or missing, when a
chord has two notes on the same line or space of the staff. It would be hard
to make my program intelligent enough to respell these cases, and in any
case there will still be some dense cases that are impossible to spell in
such a way that you can notate the cluster the way lilypond tries to. Here
is an example of the lilypond output of my program when the input is the
chord 012b:
\layout {
ragged-right = ##t
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
\remove "Bar_engraver"
}
}
\book {
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrument = "(012b) "
\set Staff.extraNatural = ##f
#(set-accidental-style 'no-reset)
{ 1 1 1 1 1 }
}
>>
}
}
