rendering equally spaced measures?
I'm working on an animated video where I want to scroll the staff across the screen in sync with the music. In order to do that I helps to have each measure render very nearly the exact same length regardless of how much white space it would waste. My problem is that MuseScore cleverly adjusts and optimizes the size of each measure based on a number of factors to make music nicely readable, but it results in variable measure lengths. I'm not entirely sure it's possible to get identically sized measures. Even it I set breaks carefully the measures will be pretty close but not spot on. Thoughts?

It indeed is not possible
You could work with minimal measure width to force them all as large as needed for this. It'll likely stretch your smaller measures disproportionally large though, but since you write you actually want that to happen..

Have you tried this?
1. Display the score in 'Continuous View'.
2. Use menu item: Edit > Preferences then on the 'Advanced' tab select 'smoothPan/enabled'.
3. If necessary, for display continuity, use Tools > Unroll Repeats.

JM6 - I think that will work well enough. Thank you!
