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 }
Hi, Carl, could you explain why this works? I would have expected that g1*1/4 is exactly the same as g4, but it is obviously not. I'm interested in that because it could be a way to have a closer spacing in parts of a piece of Heinrich Schütz I just have been working on. It mixes 2/2 and 3/1. The 3/1 is set very loose by default (whole notes and breve notes mainly) but should be played faster then the 2/2. (The bars should have the same duration.) Unfortunately base-shortest-duration can be set only for the whole score. There are some issues though - not with Laura's example where no bar lines are needed. But when you want bar lines the bars are too "full". Your example is very interesting and if I understood it I perhaps could find a way for my piece of music.
