I think so. There's a lot of stuff where modern transcribers typically
halve or even quarter the note values, and I'd prefer not to but it's
problematic with the normal lilypond spacing. (One reason it probably
became common is that the same is true of other printing based on 19th
century engraving practices.)
Whether it makes my website as beautiful as I'm hoping remains to be
seen, but I'll let you know.
You can see the spacing with Michael's layout on my blog entry for
today: <http://laymusic.org/wordpress/?p=974>
