I don't think that makes sense: in the example, all the R's are aligned
in a column.  Looks like you want to fudge the note durations (like
c2*1/2 s4) such that you have a quarter note or skip on which you can
place all the R's aligned.

Probably one would need the same for \responsum etc?

No idea how to use this: I just translated the given tweak (which can't
be put into a music identifier) into a music function to make it work as
intended.  But I have no idea what was intended.
