Re: Forcing horizontal space between successive notes

[David Sumbler]

Wow!  Two lovely solutions to my little query - both much better and
neater than my adjusting the spacing of notes by using invisible
meaningless markups with \textLengthOn.

I like the way this automatically gives appropriate spacing to notes
and rests in the stretched section.

And this method gives full control over the internal spacing if more
than one note/rest is involved.

I was not aware that extra-spacing-width could be used in this way.  I
note that the first (left) parameter doesn't seem to do very much, so
basically the second parameter adjusts the distance from the note to
the succeeding one.  Very neat!

Thanks, both, very much for these 2 solutions.
