My goal is to reduce the horizontal spacing so that I fit four measures
per system instead of two.

Unfortunately I can't work out where the override statement is supposed
to go. I've tried mimicking the locations shown in the documentation but
they all give errors for my score.

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/the-override-command

See attached for my score.
