LilyPond Notation Reference: 4.5.2 New spacing area

### 4.5.2 New spacing area

New sections with different spacing parameters can be started with `newSpacingSection`. This is useful when there are sections with a different notions of long and short notes.

In the following example, the time signature change introduces a new section, and hence the 16ths notes are spaced wider.

>     \time 2/4
>     c4 c8 c
>     c8 c c4 c16[ c c8] c4
>     \newSpacingSection
>     \time 4/16
>     c16[ c c8]

The `\newSpacingSection` command creates a new `SpacingSpanner` object, and hence new `\override`s may be used in that location.
