I like this idea, also. I would suggest that the factor be
specified by the user, to make this a fully (or at least, widely)
adjustable parameter. A factor of 1.0 could mean no change. A
factor of 1.1 would increase (loosen) the spacing by 10%, while a
factor or 0.9 would tighten the spacing by 10%, etc.
\layout { \horizontalSpacingFactor #1.04 }
I suppose that, by extension, this means that a factor of #0.0
means the layout would have no spacing at all, and all glyphs
would be engraved over the top of each other in one big blob, and
a factor of #-1.0 would mean that the glyphs are engraved
normally, but spaced right-to-left. For the sake of
reasonableness/sanity, perhaps Lily might just disallow factors <
or perhaps even <= 0, unless someone can make a compelling use
case for non-positive spacing factors.
