Thanks, Urs.
Reading your code, seems like it was just a convenience function for
setting SpacingSpanner.common-shortest-duration
Adding a simple:
\override Score.SpacingSpanner #'common-shortest-duration =
#(ly:make-moment 1 4)
Got me to the density I was looking for. (http://lilybin.com/qukbs5/3)
It's interesting (frustrating?) that the documentation on changing
horizontal spacing mentions setting base-shortest-duration to adjust
horizontal spacing (
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/changing-horizontal-spacing),
but in fact, it seems as though common-shortest-duration is the
variable
that really needs to be tweaked.

I'm transcribing a Mendelssohn score, and am trying to get Lilypond
to
pack
notes about as densely as they are in the original score. For
example,
trying to fit a snippet like this onto a single line:
\version "2.16.2"
\language "english"
\relative c''' {
\key e \minor
\mark \default
\time 2/2
b2->\f\>(\times 2/3 { b8\!)[fs8-1(g8] a8[g8-3 fs8] } |
\times 2/3 { g8->)[ds-1(e8] fs8[e8 ds8] e8)[as,-1(b-2] c-3[b-2
as-1] |
b8-1->)[fs(g] a[g fs] } g->) e\<(g) b_- |
e8---4 e---0 g-- b-- e4.---0\sf(e8-.) |
e2(\sf\> \times 2/3 { e8\!)[b8-2(c8] d8[c8 b8] } |
}
(http://lilybin.com/qukbs5/2)
I've tried adding:
\override SpacingSpanner #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment
1
1)
But this seems to have no or only very little effect on the default
spacing, even with make-moment up to 2/1 or higher. For reference
I'd
like
the formatting to match something like this:
[image: Inline image 1]
I can get the desired result by adding a "\noBreak" at the end of
every
bar
but that's very laborious and makes the .ly file quite a bit uglier.
(even using an alias like nb = { \noBreak })
Are there other tricks for very densely formatted scores?

Have a look at

and see if it helps.
