This relates closely to the question I am perennially asking concerning proportional notation.
Is there any conceivable way in lilypond to specify a fixed and absolute length for a measure, such as 3cm? Lilypond proportional notation seems to break down in this area when you are continually changing time signatures. Or at least, I cannot get any version to produce uniform length bars. I’d be happy just with uniform length bars even if we can’t get an absolute size in millimetres for example. Does this require hacking the deep internals of the layout engines, or is it simply impossible? The scores I need to set are by a colleague who is a contemporary composer who uses a strict 3cm = 1 second metric, and I am unable to engrave the works (with any known tool). It seems frustrating to be defeated by a composer with a pencil and a ruler.
