Thank you, Kieren.  I'm afraid that's not doing it for me.  Here's a 
very minimal example:

\version "2.10.19"
\paper{ ragged-right=##t }

allMusic = \relative c'' {
        c4 d \override Rest #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0) s2 | e4 f g a
}

\score {
        \new Staff \allMusic
}

The \override doesn't seem to make any difference to the output.  I'm 
trying compress as much as possible the space created by that 's2' 
before the bar line.

Thank you again for your help!
