No, that doesn't work at all in my actual score.
It seems unifrom-stretching as the global setting is the only way to get
the score in a usable state, and what I need is an option to really move
that fouth semiquaver to the left.

In a way LilyPond should perform the optical spacing to the semiquavers
three and four but then don't start the next group earlier. Indeed this
is what my hand-engraved model score does.

It is surprising that LilyPond makes it that hard to move a single note
that doesn't have any dependencies ...
