Position of rests inside beamed groups

[Gilberto Agostinho]

Hello all,

I am writing a composition in which all rests inside beamed groups have
stemlets. The problem is that because of my use of accidentals on every
single note and because spacing is sometimes a bit critical, there is very
little space between the rests's stemlets and the previous regular stem:

I thought of using Rest.X-extent to solve this, but the problem is that I
only need to increase the X-extent on the left side of rests and
unfortunately the stemlet position is always calculated as the half point
between two other stems. See:

\version "2.19.53"
{
  \override Staff.Stem.stemlet-length = #1.25
  c'16[ d' r f'] 
  \override Rest.X-extent = #'(-3.0 . 1.0)
  c'16[ d' r f'] 
}

Would anyone have some advice on how to better tackle this?

Many thanks!
Gilberto
