Re: Minimum padding after barlines for notes with accidentals?

If you search the archives, you'll see that I've asked this question  
a number of times.
And it's also true of other "left-side attachements", e.g., arpeggios.

I've yet to receive a satisfactory response/solution/explanation.  =\

What I've been doing in the meantime is manually tweaking the X- 
extent of the Accidental (or BarLine) to force the padding, e.g.

    \once \override Accidental #'X-extent = #'(-2 . 1) bs

It's definitely a time-consuming process, but I haven't found a  
better solution -- if you find one, I'd greatly appreciate hearing  
about it!  =)

Best,
Kieren.
