You could try adding
between-system-padding = #0.1
between-system-space = #0.1
And if that's too tight then increase the values.
Or alternatively, you can change the horizontal spacing using
SpacingSpanner. I do this in a couple of my scores to squeeze them onto two
pages so I don't need page turns in the middle of a piece:
\score {
\new StaffGroup \keepWithTag #'score \music
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override SpacingSpanner
#'common-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 2)
}
}
}
