This `conditional skylines' approach is overkill IMHO for chords and its  
accidentals.  I would rather consider the accidentals be part of the  
spring, this is, you construct a chord, then its accidentals, and the  
accidental configuration is handled as a rectangular block which can be  
squeezed and stretched horizontally to a certain extent.  Wouldn't this  
simplify the problem so that it can be handled with `conventional' means of  
lilypond?
