Re: Sponsored feature request--horizontal space

[Mats Bengtsson]

I'd say that the spacing in your example rather looks like
a bug that should be solved. Anyway, I hope you know
about the possibility to set
\once \override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #1
described in section "Horizontal spacing overview"
which gives exactly what you ask for.
