It just occured to me: is there any way to specify different span bar
lines (at the end of the line and at the beginning of the line)?
Marc and me, we discussed this some time ago and decided not to
provide that functionality.
It would make things more complicated for the user and I think it is a
rarely needed feature.
Sorry for missing that part of the discussion.
If it's not too late to speak my mind, i think that it would be a
shame to have such an awesome and powerful barline interface without
giving users simple way to choose span barline behaviour.
I would imagine the user interface ("syntax") to be like this:
(define-bar-line (a b c) (x y z))
or
(define-bar-line ((a b c) . (x y z)))
where (a b c) are the barlines (mid-system, end-of-system,
beginning-of-system respectively) and (x y z) are the span barlines,
in the same order as barlines.
And it would be nice if
(define-bar-line (a b c) (x))
was equivalent to
(define-bar-line (a b c) (x x x))
