In music of around 1600 the time often changes from 2/2 to 3/1 and back.
The rule of is that three whole notes of the 3/1 have to be as long as
two half notes (or one whole note) of the 2/2.

I would like to have a more dense horizontal spacing in the 3/1 sections
(where the music normally is pretty fast) than in the 2/2 sections.

The default behavior of Lilypond is to give a lot of space to the whole
notes, of course in the 3/1 also. It would be nice if the density of the
notes could reflect the speed of the music a little better.
