It seems to me that your problems with spacing stem from the following:
1) you can only break at the end of a measure
2) you don't have measures in unmetered music
So, how about if you put in bars but make them transparent. This would
allow you to control the break points but not leave anything
I figured out the proper syntax for changing SpacingSpanner properties.
Esentially, it goes like this:
\score{
...
...
\paper{
\translator{
\ScoreContext
SpacingSpanner \override #'spacing-increment = #2.0
}
}
}
I've tried:
SpacingSpanner \override
In my case, I'm not sure \break would work: I'm working with unmetered
music (no bars) that combines notes and lyrics.
I've looked at Horizontal Spacing under Global Layout in the manual,
and, as you say, it looks fairly advanced, but it seems like the way to
go for me.

How can I modify the horizontal space between notes?
\score {
\addlyrics
\context Staff = Antifona {
\property Staff.autoBeaming = ##f
\property Staff.automaticMelismata = ##t
\property Staff.TimeSignature = \turnOff
