I notice two possible bugs/features here that would need some clarification:

1. What makes me confused is that if you take the original example and
 add some music and a line break before it, then the music is split into
 two lines, even though there's actually more space available then, since
 there is no indentation as on the first line.

\version "2.6.0"
\relative{
\time 3/4
% If the following line is commented, all the remaining
% music is squeezed together on a single line:
\repeat unfold 5 c2. \break

c8 d e f g a |
c, d16 d e8 f g a |
c, d e16 e f8 g a |
c, d e f16 f g8 a |
c,8. d16 e8 f g8. a16 |
r8 d, e f g a |
c, d e f g r |
r d e r f g |
c, r e r g r |
}

2. It's possible to specify the spacing after bar lines (and lot's of 
other elements)
 by setting the space-alist property. However, it seems that there is 
no way to
 specify the spacing after a note to the following bar line (there is 
no space-alist
 property for notes). This is the spacing that looks ugliest in the 
example.
