Re: help with uneven proportional notation

[Mats Bengtsson]

I don't understand exactly how the value of proportionalNotationDuration 
influences
the result, but I managed to get nicely spaced notes in your example if I
- replaced the note durations c4*105 -> c4*105/840, ..., c4*420 -> 
c4*420/840
 (I guess you can figure out why I choose 840).
- used proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 64 )
