http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2192

Just to clarify: It's possible to manually override the distances with

  \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = VALUE

However, this command is applied after lilypond has made its formatting  
decisions (similar to the `extra-offset' property), thus it can result in  
unwanted collisions.  In particular, note heads can overlap for small  
intervals like a second.
