Grace notes with fixed spacing

[Sven Axelsson]

Hi list.

Yes, I have rtfm, but I didn't find the answer, so here goes.

Is there some way to always render a group of notes (grace notes in
this case, but I guess this would be a general fix) with a fixed
spacing that is not affected by the layout process? In my case I need
it for typesetting Scottish Highland Bagpipe music, which has lots of
complex gracenotes and (generally) a requirement for a fixed number of
bars per line. This will often make the grace notes very uneven which
does not look so good. I would like to always render the grace note
groups with the same inter-note spacing and only have the layout
process add space between "normal" notes.

I've attached some examples of differences in spacing for the same note group.

Thanks a lot
