In particular, you need a new one for the \revert as well as for the \override. \relative c' { \time 3/4 \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #2 \newSpacingSection c'2.\sfz\> | \revert Score.SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment \newSpacingSection c4\f c r | c2.\fz\> | r4 r g8\fz r | } In this particular case you don't actually need the first \newSpacingSection, since it's the beginning of the piece, which naturally is the beginning of a spacing section anyway. But in general you would need both.
