Comment #2 on issue 3232 by address@hidden: LilyPond should use strict  
proportional spacing between note columns

I don't think you understood my proposal, so I'll try being more explicit  
and then we will see whether this is a misunderstanding or not.  If you  
_did_ understand the proposal, I can't make sense of your objection, so it  
is clear that either you or me should have explained his point better.  I  
guess it's me, so I'll try again:

I was not, repeat not, suggesting to change LilyPond's manner of placing  
notes.  What I was instead talking about was LilyPond's manner of placing  
non-note material _between_ notes when the non-note material was produced  
at musical times where no note was produced.  In that particular case, it  
would appear that LilyPond arrives at the position to place the non-note  
material by more or less pretending it is attached to a zero-width note  
playing at the same time, and then uses non-proportional spacing to find  
the location for this zero-width note.

However, since the note is not actually visible, its notehead does not help  
for reading the timing relations between the surrounding notes, and the  
non-note material that has been placed in-between.

So I want the location for the non-note material chosen by first placing  
the note material according to the current spacing algorithm, and then  
finding the location for the non-note material by picking its X position  
_strictly_ proportional to its timing between the surrounding note  
material.  That way, non-note material can be positioned reliably by timing  
it appropriately.
