Thanks, this seems basically to work (I was not aware of the fact that
#'transparent on BarLine works).  However, there still seems to be
some initialization bug, because in my examples, the first span bar is
always placed too high, such as if the bar size of the first bar in the
uppermost staff is ignored.  I will investigate this further, but
probably I won't be able to do this before 1.4, since I will be
busy/travelling during the next two weeks.

In the first place, I was thinking of the file names, but to keep
consistent, variable names probably should also be renamed.
