fixed-space was there in 2.14.2, but it did not function since 2007.

Did your score have the notes very close to the key signature, as in

Sometimes it becomes hard to read if the notes compress against the clefs
and key signatures, but other times we would like to use every bit of space:

In specific cases, of course, you can put a \noBreak to force more measures
on one line.
