My composer colleague always wants to write 3cm = 1 second for
his scores. I insist that music is not linear graph paper and
never was. So we disagree. I just do not believe musicians read
music that way. Yet this is what some people want. Consequently I
have looked into this and I do not know of any notation program
that can do it. if you think about it, forcing a specific length
for bars etc means the sophisticated layout engines cannot do
their job.
If I am out of date and this _can+ be done, then I really want to
know about it.

lilypond score in absolute time, just giving
almost 2 parameters: note and absolute time in seconds, without
the measure boundaries.
