horizontal spacing

[Grammostola Rosea]

Hi,

Imho Lilypond uses to many bars on one 'row' in a-4 format. I got about 
8 bars (4/4), I prefer to have 4.
I tried to use:

\layout { }
 \midi {
   \context {
     \Score
      \override SpacingSpanner
               #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 16)



But it doesn't seems to work...


Kind regards,

\r

The fall- ing leaves_ drift by my win- dow,_  The au- tumn leaves of red 
and gold; I see your
lips,__ the sum- mer kiss- es,__ The sun- burned hands__ I used to hold
Since you went a way the days grow long, and soon I'll hear old win- 
ter's song, But I miss you most of all, my dar- ling when au- tumn 
leaves start to fall.
