New issue 2192 by address@hidden: tighter polyphony
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2192

The attached image shows rather large horizontal distances between the  
voices (this setup is necessary e.g. for Bach's Chaconne for violin solo,  
BWV 1004).

\version "2.15.24"

voiceFive = #(context-spec-music (make-voice-props-set 4) 'Voice)

\relative c' <<
  { \voiceOne e'4 } \\
  { \voiceThree b4 } \\
  { \voiceFive g4 } \\
  { \voiceTwo d4 }


The Bärenreiter Urtext edition uses half the horizontal distances or even  
less.

Currently, this horizontal space isn't configurable in lilypond, which I  
consider a deficiency.
