Note spacing changes that don't register

I have a long passage of music made from many different sections, some with very short notes and others with long notes. To overcome the spacing oddities that naturally result I have tried manually setting the spacing for each section. However it seems that this setting gets applied only once

Hello Felix, try the \newSpacingSection command: --snip-- \relative c' { \newSpacingSection \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #'1.2 \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'common-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 2) \clef bass \repeat unfold 16 { c2 c4 c8 c16 c }
