Re: dissonant chords

Nick

One other approach you might consider, since examples like this
require a lot of hand-tuning, is to add the required accidentals
as \markup.  The Learning Manual has an example of doing this to
engrave <b! bes>.  See "left-padding and right-padding" in section
4.5.2 Fixing overlapping notation.
