There would be alternative pdf display programs for windows I guess
available as free software.

If you consult the LilyPond documentation (also
try  http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/
for examples) there is stuff on changing the spacing of staffs. Tweaks
can go either at the start of the staff or in the prologs to the music,
namely after the introduction of the Staff context:
\new Staff

and/or after the introduction of the Voice context:

\new Voice

but at the moment these are not settable from any menu item.

However if you find a tweak that works, post it up, as it will be
possible to make it available.

I am sure it does, though I can't say I have noted the feature (not the
sort of thing I would be looking out for ...)
