Hello,
Would it be possible to add a setting to make measures have consistent sizes on the sheetmusic?
Having all the measures be the same size as the longest would be a good enough solution.
Sorry if there's already something like this in the settings and I didn't see it.
Consistent spacing within sheet music

We used to have something like this years ago where a red line would travel at a fixed speed across the sheet music and it was all very predictable. But there were two major problems:
1. The space between the start of the measure and the first note-head (or rest) in that measure, which contains all of your various clef & time & key signatures... doesn't actually exist as time in the song. So there was always a little discontinuity there where the line had to skip a bit.
2. It would get into trouble quite often if there was just a single measure someplace with, say, 32x thirty-second notes. In a fixed-spacing mode you also have to leave room for accidentals in front of each note, so you've got all these super wide measures with only a few notes floating in the middle someplace and can only fit two or so per line of music.
It was also this whole other code path to maintain and debug and test against which always had all these problems. So I cut the feature a decade or so ago.
If you're looking for an easy way to follow the rhythm, the right answer is to use the falling note blocks. And if you're trying to read sheet music, you might as well go all-in and read it in its native form, because that's how you'll encounter it everywhere else--it's worth getting used to if you're at that stage in your music education. (The good news is that you can have both enabled at the same time so you can have the best of both worlds.)
