In the absence of notes/rests, lilypond tries to make guesses as to
how large a given column is, by using the column extents as a
fallback.  If you then put very large texts into these columns, the
result will be strangely spaced.

If you "all notes equally spaced", even when there is no note, put in
an invisible note.
