Re: How to make note spacing disregard lyrics

Does this do what you want?  I'm not sure what it is you want to do, so this 
may be wide of the mark.  The quotes make a phrase into one big syllable 
which can then be placed by specifying its musical length.  The notes are 
spaced out to fit each phrase, but that can be controlled by changing the 
musical length.
