Control of horizontal space in score
Is it possible to control the horizontal space, i.e. I would like to define that a beat occupies the same space, whether is composed by 1 quarter-note or by 2 16th-note or by 4 32th-note.

Not really in MS3; but the upcoming MS4 has reworked horizontal spacing algorithms that do allow for this.

Thank you. When is MS4 expected?

"When it's done"
The beta is expected to drop in the coming week(s), there is just one major item being worked on for that. So final release is aimed before the end of the year.

Welcome aboard...
Hmm... assume you now define 2 16th-notes to occupy the same space as 1 quarter note (a beat). What do you propose for 4 16th-notes to occupy?
What about 2 8th-notes? Shouldn't that be considered the same space as a beat?
Can you provide an image of music written using this new spacing paradigm?

I don't have an image, as that is what I'm still trying to understand with which tool I can accomplish it.
I need it because I'm making a figures with onset detection algorithm outputs (with x-axis in seconds) on top of musical scores, so I'd need the musical score to have such proportional x-axis.

Typos in "2 16th-note or by 4 32th-note" ?
I think that you must mean that space for 1-quarter = same space for 4-sixteenths = same for 8-thirtyseconds, (and by implication 2-eighths). This would give a linear proportional x-axis which would definitely be useful in some situations.

If that is the correct understanding of the OP's post then there is a workaround available.
Like this:
MuseScore 4 has a revised note spacing algorithm that can be customised to provide linear proportional spacing.

Thanks, with this solution I don't have to wait for MS4.

How can I access this linear proportional spacing in MS4?

Yes, you're right! Thanks for catching that.
