Laura,
Here's my attempt to get the spacing you're looking for. I've done it
manually, but if you like it, I think that I can write a music function
\petrucciSpacing{} that will generate it automatically.
What I've done is to multiply each note by a value necessary to make its
final duration equal a 1/4 note.
\relative c'' {
\key f \major g1*1/4 bes1*1/4 a1*1/4 g1*1/4 d'1.*1/6 c4 bes4 c1*1/4
}
Does this seem at all promising?
Thanks,
Carl
