Thank you, that does work, and is certainly an improvement on my current method. Now I just need to figure out how to calculate the desired width, given the paper size and the staff size. (I think I know what calculation needs to be done; the question is just whether my Scheme is up to automating it.)
Hi, Matthew --
This seems to do the trick:
\version "2.14.1"
\paper {
ragged-right = ##t
}
\relative c' {
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'width = #(lambda (grob)
(ly:output-def-lookup (ly:grob-layout grob) 'line-width))
\repeat unfold 10 { c d e f }
\bar "||"
}
Best wishes,
Matthew
