I'd class this as an engraving nitpick, but we don't have that classification anymore.

It seems the horizontal spacing is slightly dependent on the stem direction. This can cause a score to mysteriously spread over an extra system when a single note with stem down is changed to one with stem up, if the original system exactly fitted the line width.

The following example demonstrates this by showing the slight difference in the two line lengths.

\version "2.15.8"
\score {
 \relative c'' {
   \repeat unfold 6 { a4 a a a }
 }
}

\score {
 \relative c'' {
   \repeat unfold 6 { c4 c c c }
 }
}
