I found setting for counting measures and grouping measures, but what
about
measuring measures? What tree should I be barking up here?
If your intention is to have to more room for penciling in things, you
could look at the section on Horizontal Spacing [1]. There are a few
ways in which you can instruct LilyPond to place notes further apart:
%%%%
notes = \relative b' { \time 3/4 b4 a g | a2 g4 | fis8 g a4 b | c2. \bar
"|." }
{ \notes }
{ \override Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment = #2 \notes }
{ \override Score.SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration =
#(ly:make-moment 1/32) \notes }
%%%%

Another option is to simply set the total number of systems for your
score. LilyPond will naturally spread out music if it is constrained to
meet a minimum system count:
%%%%
\paper { system-count = 2 }
{ \notes }
%%%%
