Horizontal note spacing

[LaurenH]

I'm looking for a music writing program that will allow me to precisely
control horizontal spacing for use in a psychology sight-reading study.
Though I've found information on how to pad accidentals etc I was wondering
if someone could help with a few more detailed horizontal spacing questions:

(1) I need to be able to choose how wide a bar is (e.g. 3cm, or 1/8 the
total page-width), and make each system's spacing the same. I'd need this
width to be set regardless of what is in the bar. Is this possible? 

(2) I additionally need to define the distances between notes (i.e. ratio of
2 for each doubled duration) and I need this to be completely unaffected by
accidentals- i.e I want no padding around accidentals. Is this possible? 

I'd really appreciate someone letting me know whether Lilypond would be an
appropriate program to use for my study. Thanks, Lauren
