Help with Horizontal Compression!

[sunamcmkcin]

Hello, 

I recently started to typeset Shostakovich's first violin concerto and i
entered the first 7 bars into lilypond, only to find that the notes have
been spaced at some comically large space, rather than compressing into a
readable size.

If the score was to continue at this rate then reading the score while
listening to the piece would turn into a page-turning speed test!

Is there anyway to tell lilypond to just take up less room? (see score and
.ly attachments below)


Thanks, Nick.
