Oh wow, this looks even easier than the scheme function I was going to write to scale everything. Is this in the lsr? If not, perhaps the cadenza settings could be put in and it could be added. If you'd like a real example I can submit one of the transcriptions I'm doing when I finish.

Thank you, this is really good! I had first problems with the bar lines -- they made the notes really spacy (though closer together than without this option). But I switched on the cadenza mode and it looks really as it should look! The disadvantage is that now you will have to set line breaks manually inside the cadenza. I guess lilypond has a minimal extent for a bar which it then starts adding until the line is full -- so if this minimal extent could be set to zero we also could have invisible barlines to make autmatic page
breaking possible.

2. There is a lot of threads here on the list. You can play with all
sorts
of spacing but nothing is yet really convincing. The most simple
workaround
appears to be to scale all note durations to a singe duration, eg. 1/8, which can be achieved by appending the note duration: a\breve*1/8 will
give
a breve that takes only the space of 1/8. It should be possible to write
a
scheme expression that does this automatically, but I don't know how.

This is very badly tested, but

\header {
 texidoc = "
   In packed mode, pack notes as tight as possible.  This makes
   sense mostly in combination with raggedright mode: the notes
   are then printed at minimum distance.  This is mostly useful
   for ancient notation, but may also be useful for some flavours
   of contemporary music.  If not in raggedright mode, lily will
   pack as much bars of music as possible into a line, but the
   line will then be stretched to fill the whole linewidth.
"
 }

\version "2.11.40"

\layout {
 ragged-right = ##t
}


\relative {
 \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing = ##t
 c2 d4 f8[ g]
}
