#706 ledger lines should take simultaneous notes' accidentals into account

Ledger lines are printed multiple times for chords and merged notes, which often results in shortened lines being overprinted.

In the example below, the second ledger line is not shortened because it is overwritten by the second Voice. In the chord, the ledger lines of the lower note are not shortened whereas they both should be (to avoid the natural sign).

:::TeX
\version "2.11.64"

\new Staff {
  << ces'2 \\ ces' >>
  << ces'! \\ ces' >>
  < a c'!>1
}

Please also have a look at the other pictures provided by Mark and Neil.

Another example shows the problem on simple chords, caused possibly not anymore by ledger lines being printed multiple times.

:::TeX
\version "2.13.6"

\new Staff {
  <ces' des>1
}

The last comment's example is clearly due to ledger lines being printed multiple
times, despite of what I wrongly said.

Silly question: why are ledger lines printed multiple times? Are they printed multiple times at all? After all, they live in Staff contexts and serve as extension to the staff symbol, so they should listen to all voices’ accidentals, of course.
