Re: questions about horizontal spacing (correct msg)

[Mats Bengtsson]

A good starting point is to read about "scaling durations"
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Scaling-durations#Scaling-durations
in the manual. For the first request, you could then use something along 
the lines of
{c c c c |
s4. c4*1/4 c c c s4. |
c c c c |}
which spaces the notes in the second measure as if they were 16th notes. 
This will not result in exactly the mathematical spacing you describe, 
but may be close enough. If you really want such exact
spacing, you also have to combine this technique with the support for 
proportional note spacing.
