Re: Forcing horizontal space between successive notes

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi David,

> I was not aware that extra-spacing-width could be used in this way.

It’s a bit hacky — I would love a Spacer grob "full citizen" to work with — but 
it does the job.

> I note that the first (left) parameter doesn't seem to do very much

Perhaps counterintuitively, you need to use negative numbers there:

{
  c'4 \tweak extra-spacing-width #'(-8 . 4) 4 4 4
}

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
