Here’s a starting point for you: %%% SNIPPET BEGINS %%% \version "2.24.2" \paper { indent = 0 } \layout { \context { \Score \omit TimeSignature proportionalNotationDuration = #1/16 \override SpacingSpanner.strict-note-spacing = ##t \override SpacingSpanner.uniform-stretching = ##t \override NoteHead.extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0) } \context { \Staff \remove Separating_line_group_engraver } } theMusic = \relative c' { \time 4/4 c1 | % Bar 1 c2 c2 | \break % Bar 2 c4 c4 c4 c4 | % Bar 3 c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 | \break % Bar 4 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 c16 | % Bar 5 \stopStaff \hideNotes \repeat unfold 16 c16 } \score { \new Staff \theMusic } %%% SNIPPET ENDS %%% Hope that helps!
