I tried something like this and the results were not pleasing.  Did you  
print these examples or just watched them on screen?  In my first try the  
fudge was like you described, but when i printed it i was surprised by the  
results: there was very little improvement over the original glyphs.
Take a look at breve15 example: when *zoomed on screen*, it seems a bit  
unpleasing because there is a small gap between lines and notehead.   
However, when you print it, there is no gap, even when watched through a  
magnifying glass!  Even a 2400 dpi printer was not precise enough to show  
it.  Lower resolution printers (and i don't think we should expect avarage  
users to have more than 1200 dpi resolution) will obscure it even more;  
with fudge values bigger than what i suggested, low-resolution printout  
might in fact be not very readable despite increased line height (h).
