Re: timing false in one staff only?

oy, Damian,

sorry for the grief. Note that in your example, it would be \rhyFloat #4
#4... as there are four eighth notes in the time of four, making this
command trivial and unnecessary. I've been using this to show unequal
amounts of time in the same space without disturbing the even setting of the
running eighth-notes.

To get absolutely even spacing in the bottom staff, you would need:
        \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 55) 
% or whatever numbers you like for make-moment, along with:
        \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching = ##t
(2.12 notation reference, section 4.5.5)

Given that, how do you want the upper voice to be different? To appear with
the same spacing as though the lower weren't there? Almost certainly, the
total width of the measure in the upper line would be different than the
lower. You could, of course, fake it and pad the upper line:
        \rhyFloat #4 #5 { c4 d32[ e32 f16] g8 s8 }  % 5 eighths in the time of 4
or, perhaps:
        \rhyFloat #8 #9 { c4 d32[ e32 f16] g8 s16 }  % 9 sixteenths in the time 
of
8
or, if it's just that the 32d notes are crowded:
        \rhyFloat #6 #7 { c4 d32[ s32 e32 s32 f16] } g8  % 7 sixteenths in the 
time
of 6
which would have the two parts starting and ending together.
The lower would be simply:
        c8 d e f
This routine only works if the total duration of the upper voice is not the
same as the total duration of the lower, and is likely still more personal
interference than you may want to do. But, is the result something like you
are wanting?
