If I recall correctly you wrote you wanted strict spacing such that equal time 
uses equal space. That will then apply to repeat bars likewise. My suggested 
modification waives that requirement for the repeated bars.

When you request strict ruler like time to space relationship then how do you 
expect Lilypond to know when repeated bars are allowed to use less space and 
when not so unless you explicitly say so?

You have looked at my code?
Which part don’t you understand?

I do waive the requirements for strict time to space relation for the repeated 
bars.

magnifyStaff is your friend. Or globally changing the size. There are plenty 
examples in the documentation.
