I am using lilypond to transcribe drum parts for myself to play. Drum parts may be different than other types of music. However, I find it very helpful for the same measures of music to appear the same throughout the piece. Same bar width and same note spacing. Especially as I read ahead with music I am familiar with. This is a little different than your requirements. However, having said that I would also like the option to have evenly spaced bars. > Can somebody with deeper knowledge say if this is a forlorn hope? > The > beauty of Lilypond is its magnificent layout engine, but perhaps the > designers never imagined composers would want fixed width bars, and > so > it can't be done. I don't know. I appreciate the bump. Hoping to hear more experts weigh in on the possibility. Lilypond seems *very* flexible in it's layout choices. I would be surprised if this *can't* be done.
