Re: Spacing Problem

[Michael Lakes]

Yeah, fixed note spacing base on note duration would not be good.  I thought 
of that as a fix for this problem, which would look better than what's 
currently produced.

Notes in a measure probably should have the same spacing if they're the same 
notes.  This case, the 8th note seems to have half the space compare to 
other 8th notes which is immediately noticeable.

I tried some of those parameters but doesn't seem to get the output I want.  
It seems not possible to produce fixed outputs proportional to the duration 
...

Thanks though.
