Re: horizontal spacing

[Mats Bengtsson]

The simplest is probably to insert some \break commands where you want 
line breaks. Then, LilyPond will stretch out the note spacing.
If you want exactly 4 measures per line, you can even insert a parallel 
line of the form
\repeat unfold 10 { s1*4 \break }
(assuming that your score has 10*4=40 measures in total).
