Comment #3 on issue 1290 by n.puttock: Skyline compaction is going  
overboard sometimes

Skylines are padded slightly, but you can tweak the amount  
via 'skyline-horizontal-padding.

{
  \override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'skyline-horizontal-padding = #2
  \repeat unfold 80 { <c'''-1 e'''-3 g'''-5> c' <c,-1 e,-3 g,-5> c' }
}

I don't think this is a critical issue.
