The default spacing at the position of the original bar line will remain unless you do more settings. I haven't tried, but you probably have to change the setting of the space-alist property, both for the BarLine object and for the object that comes directly before the bar line (i.e. the note head in your case).
An alternative solution that may be simpler is to fool LilyPond into beleiving that the bar actually is 5/4 long, but still print 4/4. For example, you can set \time 5/4 and then manually override how the time signature is printed. There's a related example in the Tips and Tricks document if you use version 2.2.x which has been moved to the section on Polymetric Notation in the manual for version 2.4.x. (Please always tell what version you use, to be sure to get a relevant answer).
Yet another alternative, is to fool LilyPond into beleiving that the quarter notes have a slightly shorter duration, so that 5 of them are needed to fill the bar: c4*4/5 d e f g This is probably the easiest solution!

Hi,
Before I go straight to my question let me try to explain what I am trying to achieve:
I want to create a staff with a G-Clef, the time signature (4/4), *five*
g'4 notes and a single bar. Yes that is wrong, but that is what I want
to create. I have so far removed the bar after the fourth g'4 with
\set Score.defaultBarType = #"empty"
and added a new bar after the fifth with
\bar "|"
So far so good.
However between the fourth and fifth g'4 I get more space than between the rest .. I guess this comes from the BarLine spacing, but I can not find the right place to get it to not do that. I feel like I have searched high and low for the right place to modify the spacing, but to no avail!
Can anyone help me?
Regards, Martin
