Yes, but there's still the problem of extra space at the barline.  I
tried Michael's solutions and doing nothing at all and there's still
extra space after the 4th whole note.

I wouldn't bother with the music function until we can figure out how to
remove the space that happens when the barline isn't there.

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you
give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in
judgment.
