Hi Ryan, the command you are looking for is \newSpacingSection. If the effect is not enough, you could simply add another voice and do some invisible stuff to consume additional space:
% ----------------------------------------------------- \version "2.19.25" \score { \relative c'' { g4 e e2 | f4 d d2 | c4 d e f | g4 g g2 | g4 e e2 | f4 d d2 | c4 e g g | c,1 | \newSpacingSection \override Score.SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1/64) << {d4 d d d |} { \new Voice \hideNotes \repeat unfold 4 { s8 \hide r16 \hide r16 } \unHideNotes } >> \newSpacingSection \revert Score.SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration d4 e f2 | e4 e e e | e4 f g2 | g4 e e2 | f4 d d2 | c4 e g g | c,1 | } \layout { \context { \Score } } } % ----------------------------------------------------- Cheers, Klaus -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/override-default-bar-width-for-only-one-bar-tp186661p186691.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
