Thanks.  That does solve that problem.

Unfortunately, it creates a new one.  In some cases, such as the
attached small example, when I use this BarType I get a lot of errors:

programming error: Loose column does not have right side to attach to.

I was hoping these loose columns were like the insane springs, which I
get all the time and they never seem to produce bad output.  But when I
use my test file in a lilypond-book file, it ends up indented instead of
within the margins I want.

Here are my test files:
