I have had better luck with common-shortest-duration:

\score {
    %\header { piece = \Apiece }
  \keepWithTag #'NEW
    \new ChoirStaff <<
        \defScore
        \override Score.BarNumber  #'padding = #1
        \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'common-shortest-duration = 
#(ly:make-moment 1 2)

        \context Lyrics = ls { s1 }
        \context Staff = ss <<
          \context Voice  = vs { \voiceOne \gs \transpose c c \Asm \defEnd }
          \\
...
