I'm not familiar with this property, but it's relatively easy to determine
the length of a music expression. Try this:
\version "2.19.10"
my_score_part = { c'4 d e f }
my_score_part_two = { c'4 d e f g8 }
#(display (ly:music-length my_score_part))
#(display (ly:music-length my_score_part_two))
Hope this is helpful,
David
