Hi list.
Yes, I have rtfm, but I didn't find the answer, so here goes.
Is there some way to always render a group of notes (grace notes in
this case, but I guess this would be a general fix) with a fixed
spacing that is not affected by the layout process? In my case I need
it for typesetting Scottish Highland Bagpipe music, which has lots of
complex gracenotes and (generally) a requirement for a fixed number of
bars per line. This will often make the grace notes very uneven which
does not look so good. I would like to always render the grace note
groups with the same inter-note spacing and only have the layout
process add space between "normal" notes.
I've attached some examples of differences in spacing for the same note
group.

You might also want to look at the information about proportional notation:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/proportional-notation
Also you could consider using small normal notes rather than grace notes -
this way the time interval occupied by the note is maintained.
