Re: weird Accidental spacing/padding issue

Hi Abraham,

Yes. (Aside: Switching back to it to test that reminded me how much I love 
Cadence!)

Adding

    \override AccidentalPlacement.right-padding = #0
    \override Accidental.extra-spacing-width = #'(0.3 . 0)
    \override Accidental.extra-offset = #'(-0.05 . 0)

to my score seems to bring it closer to what I would expect to be "default 
spacing". I'm uncomfortable that I don't know what the real root problem is… 
but at least I can get on with engraving!

Thanks,
Kieren.
