Ah, that makes sense! For the space between staves in a staff group, the 
Span_bar uses also a BarLine object of the same type, so it's actually a tick 
through the top-most virtual staff line of the space between the staves...

Okay, I uploaded a new patch:

Now I set the bar line type for the span bar to "". Is this the correct way? 
Or should I rather completely suicide the object?

Cheers,
Reinhold

PS: I suppose that the dot bar style ( \bar"." ) should also remove the span 
bar... To be honest, I have no idea what the purpose of the "." bar style is, 
so I also don't know how it should work across staff groups. It was addd ages 
ago by hanwen (with an empty log message on 2005-11-29, right after 2.7.15), 
but it is nowhere documented or used...
Unless someone has a good reason, I thus propose to use \bar "." for a thick 
bar line instead. Patch is here:

Please review
