Well, with other spacing parameters, we can and do, e.g.

score-system-spacing =
    #'((basic-distance . 12)
       (minimum-distance . 6)
       (padding . 1)
       (stretchability . 12))

Why not

    \override BarLine.space-alist.next-note = #'((semi-fixed-space . 10) 
(minimum-space . 4))

or similar?

Thanks,
Kieren.
