Well... yes. Understood .)

So, spacers may be of different length, but all of them should have no space?

Probably you may want to replace all of them with
\set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -0 8)   % 8 or whatever

So, i guess, in such a way you will replace all spacers with an "indicator of
measure end".

Not tested, just tried a bit.


Well... too bad :-)

Barnumbers do not increase, you'll need additional tricks.
