Hi David,
do you mean without streching? You can set the width of the StaffSymbol
to a fixed one. Is that what you want?
\version "2.18.0"
\layout { \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'width = 70 }
{ a }
{ a b a b a b a b }
But please be aware, that if the content is longer than 'width', the
staffsymbol stops nonetheless.
\paper{ line-width = … } has to be adjusted to prevent this.
HTH,
Joram
