Dear Jaime,If you mean silent rests such as s4, s8 etc. I thought those do not actually take up any space, and are analogous to using \skip for that duration. As in the following example:
\version "2.24.1"
<<
\new Staff {
c'1 c'1
}
\new Staff {
\repeat unfold 128 { s128 }
}
>>
As for how to make measures longer, I usually override the
NoteHead.extra-spacing-width (or same, for Rest) property to add more
horizontal space before or after a note, but I'm not sure that will be
the best option here.

Hi all,I am trying to control the amount of space that s events take on each bar so that I can make some bars longer. Is there a way I can specify this? Also, some bars which have values like R1 are also really short, how can I make those longer?In other words, is there a way to make bars visually longer even if they show empty space?I have tried things like the one below but have not had good results \layout{ \context { \Score proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1/32)\override SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1/32)\override SpacingSpanner.uniform-stretching = ##tI am also attaching a screenshot so you can see the kinds of results I am getting.All the best, Jaime image.png
