Hi Gilberto,

I played around with the SpacingSpanner and
proportionalNotationDuration but to no convincing avail.

Best I can think of is:

{
  \override Staff.Stem.stemlet-length = #1.25
  c'16[ d'
  \once\override NoteColumn.X-offset = 1
  r deses']
}

Perhaps someone else comes up with a better method...

Cheers,
