Hi,

The doc about horizontal spacing mention the use of
"Score.SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching" to force uniform
equal-duration spacing in tuplets.

This might have some drawbacks but AFAICS it generates note heads
evenly aligned in the X-axis.

  \layout {
    \context {
      \Score
      \override SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching = ##t
    }
  }

Cheers,
Xavier
