 The values of
'stem-spacing-correction in NoteSpacing and StaffSpacing
affect the spacing between the bar lines and the first
and last notes respectively, and the values and mechanisms
are different.  I guess we need to understand why these are
different and what other effects they have before raising a bug
report.

The correction just after a bar-line (the one in StaffSpacing)
only adds space, never removes space.

This difference is explicit enough in the code that I would guess
it was intentional.  Whether it is desired is a different question.
The code references Helene Wanske's book Musiknotation.  Speaking
as a violist, I think it is easier to keep place in repetitive
music when there is a bit of variation in spacing.

Also strangely, no optical correction is applied to first and
last minims (half notes) in a measure,

Check again.  It is for me, so long as the line is ragged-right.
