It's not that LP does anything wrong, I'm looking for a way to let LP do it 
wrong. So in the example below, i want equal spacing between the eights, no 
matter what's happening in the improvisation measure below it. Looking at the 
example the notes in the upper measure are "making room" for what happens in 
the improvisation measure below it. But since i don't care about timing i'd 
prefer the notes to be equidistant. And this also works the other way around. 
The glissando from the low to the ases is making room for two eights above, 
making the glissando wider, but again, I don't want LP to care about that.

With "getting worse" i mean that the stuff i've tried (like temporarily setting 
the timing off) only has side effects and not the intended result.
