Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?
A separate midi version may be the only way right now. You could use \time 33/32 a8 \time 31/32 a8 (experiment) or use very large time values with ties for the long notes. You will find that jazz 8ths are much closer to straight 8ths than they are to a triplet, or even to a 3:2 quintuplet. I imagined that the latter would do it until I tried it.
