Thanks for the question, because if "$\\!$" gives a bit of negative space I'll be very glad I looked it up in ``The Not So Short Introduction to \latex 2\epsilon''. With math mode, "\!" should give you some negative space in text, and that should be very handy for us if it works.
If you want to use it in the Lyrics of a score, I'm afraid this won't work the way you expect it, since the spacing calculations in Lilypond don't understand these more advanced aspects of LaTeX and will get completely confused. You can certainly use it in the title, though. Also, you could use things such as \hspace{-3mm}.
