Combining chord durations

I use a score to produce PDF and MIDI.

To obtain a rhythmic pattern in the MIDI, I write the chords as:

  ees8 ees ees ees ees ees bes bes |
  c:m c:m c:m c:m aes aes aes aes  |
  ees ees ees ees bes bes bes bes  |
  ees ees ees ees ees ees ees ees  |

In the printed score, the chord changes are not shown, which is what I
want, but it seems that the duration of the chords affects the amount of
space that is allocated for the printed output. For example, the above
lines (with some notes) display as:

while I would like to have:

(See attachment 2, if it comes through, otherwise:)

(As if I had written:

  ees2. bes4  |
  c2:m  aes2  |
  ees2  bes2  |
  ees1        |

)

Is there an easy way to get this behaviour? Something similar but
opposite to the chordChanges property?
