New issue 1671 by address@hidden: Vertical spacing: undesired  
figured bass stretching
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1671

Reported by Nicolas Sceaux:

 When forcing the staves spacing using
  \overrideProperty #"Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"
 #'line-break-system-details = #'((alignment-distances . (...)))
figured bass digits are stretched, whereas they shall be tightly stacked.

I can't find how to avoid this strange behavior.  Is there a way?

Here is a minimal example:

\score {
 <<
  \new Staff {
    \overrideProperty #"Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"
    #'line-break-system-details #'((alignment-distances . (15)))
    c'4
  }
  \new Staff <<
    { d'4 }
    \figures { <6 4>4 } >> >>
}

*========

I've verified this is a regression from 2.12.3, as the figures are properly  
spaced using it.
