Thank you very much.  Could you please elaborate on why this works?

In particular, why not fitting 4 times on a line creates some of the
problem?  Wouldn't the repeat measures alleviate that spacing
constraint?  That was the intent for this example anyway.

I understand that the pattern does not fit 4 times on a line.  How to
do so is one of my questions.  Increasing the length of the line
doesn't appear to have any effect.  Though theoretically with a large
enough paper size it should fit.  Followed by a "fit to paper size"
when printing to letter size.  I intend to explore that option next.

I feel that it should be possible to scale "something" in lilypond to
do the same thing, but I haven't figured that out yet.

Thanks,
Stef
