Re: change measure's width

The change suggested by Graham will space out the
notes more, but if the note length is increased in
this way fewer notes are fitted into the measure, which is probably not what you want.

To avoid this, you can internally change the length
of the measure like this:

c4 c c c
\set Score.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 2 1)
c4*2 c c c

Lily's internal book-keeping will allow as fine an adjustment on the spacing as you like, eg

\set Score.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 1375 1000)
c4*1375/1000 c c c

Note, though, that this will also affect the midi
output.

The easiest way would be to enable proportional notation (see the
chapter on Spacing) and then do
 c4*2
for the doubled notes.

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to change the width (and, proportionally, the space between the notes) of two equal measures?

A text based example:


c4 c4 c4 c4 | c4   c4   c4   c4   | c4          c4
c4 c4          |

thanks.
