I haven't yet got the barlines lined up on each line, but I've made a start.

Btw, the file rudiments.ly, as posted, is missing a ' on lines 6 and 17; 
just change "\override Beam #'positions = #(1 . 1)" to "  \override Beam 
#'positions = #'(1 . 1)" etc.

If you look at the output of drumtest.ly, there's an extra crotchet 
which takes it into a 73rd bar -- remove this, and it looks better 
immediately.

I found that I could strip out all the \noBreak jazz, and still achive 
six bars on every line with this \with block:

\new Score \with {
       proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 2)
       \override SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching = ##t
       \override SpacingSpanner #'common-shortest-duration = 
#(ly:make-moment 1 8)
       \override SpacingSpanner #'base-shortest-duration = 
#(ly:make-moment 1 16)
}

which saves a lot of typing, but still doesn't do exactly what you want.
