I'm sorry, but although it seems to be perfectly clear
for other people, it is not clear to me what you are looking
for. Would you mind elaborating?

Are you looking for a different way of producing the same output
as usual from different input, by entering the absolute position
in seconds of each note in the score instead of entering a sequence
of notes whose durations add up -- in which case you may be looking
for \after or the edition-engraver? Are you looking for producing
different output from the same input, by making the notation
proportional -- in which case you should look at proportional notation
in the manual? Or both? Or something else entirely?
