I would rather recommend the following setting:
\override Script #'quantize-position = ##f
(or perhaps \override Score.Script #'quantize-position = ##f
to make sure that it applies also to the temporary Voice contexts
created when you use the <<{...} \\ {...} >> construct.)
If you want the setting only to apply to sforzato and not to any of the
other articulations that normally are typeset within the stave, then you
can add the following lines at the top of your file
\layout{
\context{
\Score
scriptDefinitions = #(cons '("accent" .
((avoid-slur . around)
(padding . 0.20)
(quantize-position . #f)
(script-stencil . (feta . ("sforzato" . "sforzato")))
(side-relative-direction . -1))) default-script-alist)
}
}
(I used the corresponding lines from the file scm/scripts.scm as a
starting point and changed #t to #f as the value for quantize-position.)
