#3141 accidental placement, clear ledgers

When ledgers are widened for suspended notes, the accidental should be moved left to clear.  In the case below, the flat on the E in the second chord should move. (The eighth notes show how LilyPond handles the case of clearing ledgers on the previous note.)

{ \clef bass <bes, gis aes>4 <ees' cis'' des''> a'8 beses a beses, }

One easy-to-find example is Debussy: Estampes: 2.Soirée dans Grenade, measures 18-19

In practice, very little space is left between the accidental and ledgers of its own chord.  It might make sense to shorten the ledgers, as LilyPond does when the note with an accidental is on a ledger line, but I have not yet found an engraved example where that is done.

2.19.23 has the flat more to the left, but not clear of the ledger lines. Whiteout (using stencil-whiteout-outline) looks good:

\version "2.19.23"

{
  \clef bass
  <\tweak Accidental.whiteout ##t ees' cis'' des''>
}

Summary: accidental placement, clear ledgers
