Re: Cadenza in right hand, metered in left

[Knute Snortum]

We are so close!  I used

  \override Score.SpacingSpanner.strict-note-spacing = ##t
  \newSpacingSection

to start the strict spacing and

  \override Score.SpacingSpanner.strict-note-spacing = ##f
  \newSpacingSection

to stop it.  Now the only thing that remains is that one of the left hand
bars lines is too close to the notes.  I have attached the new source code
and a PNG of its output.
