A good starting point is to read about "scaling durations"
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Scaling-durations#Scaling-durations
in the manual. For the first request, you could then use something along the lines of
{c c c c |
s4. c4*1/4 c c c s4. |
c c c c |}
which spaces the notes in the second measure as if they were 16th notes. This will not result in exactly the mathematical spacing you describe, but may be close enough. If you really want such exact spacing, you also have to combine this technique with the support for proportional note spacing.

Hi .
(I'm sorry if I send again this message but some errors occurred while sending the previous one)

Given these three bars:

{c c c c | c c c c | c c c c}

with the following output:

o    o    o    o    |     o    o    o    o    |    o    o    o    o

                         --measureLength---


1) I would like to change the notes' spacing inside the second bar in this way:

o    o    o    o    |         o o o o         |    o    o    o    o
                        --pad--           --pad--
                        --measureLength---

where pad = measureLength/3 and measureLength remains the same.


2) I would like to change the notes' spacing inside the second bar in this other way:

o    o    o    o    |    o o o            o    |    o    o    o    o
                             A B C           D
                         --measureLength---

where A and D (=notes) have their normal position, while B C form a group with A which is proportionally "compressed" with a given scale factor. And measure length remains the same.


Which is the easiest solution for both problems?
Thanks,
Luca
