Re: force distance between bars for chord only staff

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you search the mailing list archives, you will find that this is a
very popular question (even though most people don't ask for the
specific case of a score with only chords). Possibly you can use
the support for proportional notation introduced in version
2.7.something, see the example called spacing-proportional.ly
in the Regression Test document for version 2.7. Otherwise
the standard trick is to include an invisible voice with only 16th
notes or whatever, which will fix the horizontal spacing.

In most scores, this kind of fixed spacing looks so ugly, so
that's why it's not directly supported in LilyPond.
