Well… sort of… but as Andrew points out, for any fixed “width = duration” association you give me, I can compose music of the given duration, made up of “too many” extremely fast notes, which cannot be intelligibly written in the given width. > Anyway, as you said, no notation program can do this task. I can do it in Lilypond: 1. Make each measure an independent score of fixed line-width. 2. Stack all scores horizontally in a \markup block with no space between them. Done! ;) Of course making that structure/process reasonably pleasant for the Lilypond user is a whole ‘nother matter. Cheers, Kieren.
