spacing problem

[Werner LEMBERG]

Please have a look at the attached PDF file, generated from this code:

  \version "2.11.53"

  #(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f)

  \header{
    tagline = ##f
  }

  \relative c'' {
    d4 r d8[ d d d] |
    d4 r d r |
    d4 r d8[ d d d] |
    d4 r d r |
    d4 r d8[ d d d] |
    d4 r d r |
    d4 r d8[ d d d] |
    d4 r d r |
    d4 r d8[ d d d] |
    r4 des2. |
    r2 d4 r |
  }

  \paper {
    paper-height = 5.0\cm
    ragged-right = ##f
    indent = 0.0\cm
  }

This is the `natural' spacing as provided by lilypond.  However, IMHO,
the horizontal spacing of the dotted half note is too small.  How can
I increase it?  I've nothing found in the manual which controls this
squeezing.

Please don't give educated guesses but hard facts -- I tried a lot,
and I wasn't successful.
