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If I am out of date and this _can+ be done, then I really want to know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.

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