The right-padding property

The right-padding property affects the spacing between the accidental and the note to which it applies.⁴ It is not often required, but it can help in horizontally tight situations, for example.

\relative c' {
  cis8[ dis eis fis gis ais bis cis]
}

\relative c' {
  % move accents nearer to note heads
  \override Score.AccidentalPlacement.right-padding = -0.1
  cis8[ dis eis fis gis ais bis cis]
}
