p.s. Notice how telling Lilypond to consider the feathered measure separately from the rest, it does something different spacing-wise (which may or may not be what you want):
\version "2.19.82" \layout { system-count = 4 } \new Staff \relative c' { \newSpacingSection \override Beam.grow-direction = #LEFT \featherDurations #(ly:make-moment 7/1) {c32[ d e f g f g f]} c4 c c | \revert Beam.grow-direction \newSpacingSection c4 e d c c1 d e c c c c c c c c } Please read the manual carefully as to all the spacing options — they really are remarkably flexible and complete.
