The values of
'stem-spacing-correction in NoteSpacing and StaffSpacing
affect the spacing between the bar lines and the first

are different. I guess we need to understand why these are
different and what other effects they have before raising a bug
report.
The correction just after a bar-line (the one in StaffSpacing)
only adds space, never removes space.
This difference is explicit enough in the code that I would guess
it was intentional. Whether it is desired is a different
question.
The code references Helene Wanske's book Musiknotation. Speaking
as a violist, I think it is easier to keep place in repetitive
music when there is a bit of variation in spacing.
I'm not really concerned enough about this to investigate
it further. It arose out of my investigations of Mike's
5917046 patch (which _is_ affected by the stem direction)
and threw me off the scent for quite a while. If no one
else is bothered let's just leave it.
Also strangely, no optical correction is applied to first and
last minims (half notes) in a measure,
Check again. It is for me, so long as the line is ragged-right.
You're right. I had ragged-right, but the example I used by
chance fitted a line rather tightly. Under those conditions
it seems the optical correction is suppressed, or if it is
applied it is applied equally before and after a bar line.
