In the following example, the two staves are placed too close together. The stems on the notes of the third and fourth chords are colliding with each other:
The stems are not literally colliding, but they are visually colliding since they are so close to each other. The solution would be to give stems and apparent width of about 1 diatonic step (1/2 step on each side of the stem). This should trigger the avoidance of the visual collisions of the stems.
