Re: Horizontal note spacing

[Benjamin Fluehr]

Thank you Alexander, that worked great.

I discovered that part of the reason my previous efforts had failed is that I was including gregorian.ly, which specifies \override SpacingSpanner.packed-spacing = ##t. Packed spacing had a number of side effects that were not desirable for this use case.

Could someone recommend how to achieve this in Lilypond? [...]

Hi Benjamin,

what about faking note durations? (See the attached example.)


HTH,
