Re: Problem with hemiola notation

[Nick Payne]

Here's a nasty hack that (without taking the lyrics into account) 
achieves the desired appearance:

\version "2.17.25"

move = #(define-music-function (parser location type move) (string? 
pair?) #{
  \once \override $type #'extra-offset = #move
          #})

barspace = #(define-music-function (parser location width) (pair?) #{
  \once \override Staff.BarLine.extra-spacing-width = #width
              #})

\relative f'' {
  \time 3/4
  g4. a8 \move "Dots" #'(3 . 0) f4.*2/3 |
  \barspace #'(0 . 2) ges8*2 e4.( d8) |
}
