Instead of using  NoteColumn #'force-hshift  you could override
  NoteColumn #'X-offset .  At least it does not require an invisible
additional voice.

  \once \override NoteColumn #'X-offset = #2

LilyPond implements the complex rules of horizontal spacing of engraved
score.  It handles tricky polyphonic rhythms and uncommon notes
durations remarkably well.

You could play with  SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment  and/or
  SpacingSpanner #'shortest-duration-space  to modify the horizontal
spacing, as explained in  NR 4.5 Horizontal spacing .
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/horizontal-spacing.html

You could also change  Staff.Barline #'space-alist  table.

%%%% Snippet

\version "2.15.27"

\relative c' {
  c4 c f
    \once \override NoteColumn #'X-offset = #2
    e |
  \once \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'shortest-duration-space = #3
  \newSpacingSection
  c4
    \newSpacingSection
    c f e |
}

%%%% End of snippet

Cheers,
Xavier
