I guess that's probably how Trevor found this solution, but just for the record: Looking for more information on the above-mentioned Separating_line_group_engraver, I have just discovered that section 8.4.3 of the manual(which is significantly entitled "proportional notation" ;)) deals with this issue. It also mentions two other overrides which might prove useful to the folks working with proportional notation (which I personally have never done). Thanks for the hint, Trevor.
