Ok, so I managed to shift the upper note heads by using extra-offset:

< g \tweak font-size #-3 \tweak Accidental.font-size #-3 \tweak 
extra-offset #'(-0.25 . 0) b > |
    < fis \tweak font-size #-3 \tweak Accidental.font-size #-3 \tweak 
extra-offset #'(-0.25 . 0) h! > |
    < e \tweak font-size #-3 \tweak extra-offset #'(-0.25 . 0) cis' > |
    < d \tweak font-size #-3 \tweak extra-offset #'(-0.25 . 0) d' >~) | 
1~ | 1~ | < d \tweak font-size #-3 d' >2

One problem remains: the upper ties are drawn as if the notes weren't 
shifted. How can I access the upper ties for reformatting? Is there a 
way to apply the shift amount to all control points simultaneously?

(I tried shifting the smaller notes by \tweak X-offset #-0.25 first, but 
that does not seem to have any effect.)

TIA,

Marc
