I think what you're after is some means to limit this expansion. I've
attached a patch which creates a property ("no-stretch") which keeps
internal padding at its minimum value -- 1 staff space. Note also the
test file. I haven't tested it beyond what you see there.
It might be nice to allow a maximum padding. (I find 1.0 for padding
a little close.) That would be easily done.
Sorry that this is a patch you need to apply. Putting this in Scheme
would require extensive recoding.
The following patch may be more sensible.
It creates a new property, "church-rest-inner-padding," which when set
controls the space between the symbols making up the rest. This space
is fixed.
If the property is left unset, we get the current default behavior:
the rest is spread out to fill the available space.
If the "no spread" behavior" is desired as a default, we'd just need
to add an entry for church-rest-inner-padding to scm/define-grobs.scm.
To get the spreading back, you'd override to '().
HTH,
David
P. S. This patch is to current master, not to the patch in my earlier email.
