Hi Javier,

while the link by Abraham is really interesting, I could not find an
answer to your problem there. What I noticed though is that for some
reason, it seems like the override has to be put before the music not
within:

\new Staff \with {
  \override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.length-fraction = #1
  \override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.minimum-length-fraction = #1
}

or

\layout {
  \override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.length-fraction = #1
  \override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.minimum-length-fraction = #1
}

This leaves the question open how to adapt it for single notes or small
passages.

HTH,
