Re: Increasing the horizontal space between notes

[Oscar A. Valdez]

I figured out the proper syntax for changing "SpacingSpanner" properties.
Esentially, it goes like this:

\score{
   ...
   ...
   \paper{
     \translator{
       \ScoreContext
       SpacingSpanner \override #'spacing-increment = #2.0
      }
   }
}

I've tried:
  "SpacingSpanner \override #'spacing-increment = #4.0"
and
  "SpacingSpanner \override #'common-shortest-duration = #(make-moment 1 8)"
but they don't do what I want: simply increase the horizontal space between 
notes.

Can anyone point out the right SpacingSpanner properties to do this?
