I mean the width of the beam. Changing ragged-right helps in the 
minimal example but not in the real score I'm working on.

I must  omit NoteHead to reduce the space taken by the hidden grace 
note.
I rewrote this way and it works:

\version "2.19.37"

myMusic = \relative {
 cis'8\3\glissando
   %\hideNotes
   \once \omit NoteHead
   \once \omit Stem
   \once \omit TabNoteHead
   \once \omit Flag
   \grace a
   %\unHideNotes
   e'
 s1*3
}

\score {
 \new StaffGroup <<
   \new Staff { \clef "treble_8" \myMusic }
   \new TabStaff { \clef "moderntab" \new TabVoice \myMusic }
 >>
 \layout { indent = 0 }
}

\paper {
 ragged-right = ##f
}
