Keep experimenting with removing things until you find the culprit -
sometimes strange spacing issues are caused by note values that are not
entered correctly (bar checks help here, but I must admit that I'm too lazy
to use them). About the length of stems if notes are beamed you have to
edit the Beam.positions rather than the stems. It's not a very elegant
override as you have to set the absolute positions of the beams, that is,
you can't simply reduce their height by a fixed amount - you have to choose
the staff line/space where they will stop (with 0 being the midline of the
staff and positive values above and negative values below), for example:
\version "2.18.2"
\relative {
\once \override Beam.positions = #'(-1 . -1)
b8 b b b
\once \override Beam.positions = #'(0 . 5)
b b b b
}
