I've tried adding
 \paper {
    systems-per-page = 20
   }
(to take an extreme case) but it doesn't change the horizontal spacing
at all it just forces more systems onto the page causing them to
collide as you request more. The problem I am facing is that one part
is spaced horizontally much more loosely than another seemingly similar
part.
