Hi Andrew, > It seems frustrating to be defeated by a composer with a pencil and a ruler.
Only if you think computers are better than humans… ;) In any case, why not just have a second voice with a hidden MultiMeasureRest, and force the length (x-extent) of that? I’ve used that trick many times before — it gives you almost total control over the width of a given measure. (The only limitation is that you can’t use it force a measure to be *smaller* than the content demands.) Hope this helps!
