Re: manually set visual size of a measure

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Andrew,

> It seems frustrating to be defeated by a composer with a pencil and a ruler.

Only if you think computers are better than humans…   ;)

In any case, why not just have a second voice with a hidden MultiMeasureRest, 
and force the length (x-extent) of that?
I’ve used that trick many times before — it gives you almost total control over 
the width of a given measure.
(The only limitation is that you can’t use it force a measure to be *smaller* 
than the content demands.)

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
