Re: How to modify the space between the notes?

[Mats Bengtsson]

If we had a full example for every property mentioned in the manual, it 
would be 3 times as large. Therefore, the general principles
for how to set properties are described in the chapter on "Changing
Defaults". What could be clarified in Sect. 10.5.6 is that all the 
properties listed there are properties of the SpacingSpanner layout
object. Therefore, the examples shown in the section work well as
templates for what you want to do, just replace "uniform-stretching"
or strict-note-spacing by "spacing-increment" and find out from the 
chapter on Changing defaults how to specify numerical arguments.

For beginners like you, it's also a very good idea to search the 
mailing list archives and the Lilypond Snippet Repository
(see www.lilypond.org -> Documentation) for examples that use
exactly the property you want to use. I'm sure that you will find
lots of examples.
