This issue has dogged me for a long time, and searching the archives does
not produce a reliable answer as far as I can see.

When using proportional notation with cross staff beamed groups, it looks
vastly better if the stems are evenly spaced, but proportional notation
messes this up, and only in the cross staff situation.

I have tried using \newSpacing section in my scores and I am so deep in
confusion perhaps that I cannot find a way to make this work, while
preserving the proportional notation for the score overall.

There is a thread concerning this matter here, with no resolution, but
pertinent:

It would be great if this could be made to work. What lilypond incantations
do I need, or is it a current limitation? Could we have some sort of
\spaceStemsEvenly command?
