Re: Lilypond problems

I have a hymnal that uses a single thick bar line at a mid-measure  
line break that coincides with the end of a line of the poem.

It uses a double thick bar line at the end of a song.

Its repeat signs are four dots and a thick line (or two thick lines at  
the end of a song).  A bidirectional repeat sign has only one thick  
line.  A repeat sign at the beginning of a line is just four dots  
following the clef, without any line.

But getting back to the question, how's this?

  \version "2.11.1"

  thickBar =
    \once \override Staff.BarLine #'hair-thickness = #6.0 \bar "|"

  \score
  {
    \relative a' { a1 \thickBar a1 | a1 \bar "|." }
  }

I do like the idea of being able to produce a thick bar line with some  
other string than "|", because in the case of this hymnal, it doesn't  
just look different than a normal bar line, it means something  
different.
