Yes, I had read that numerous times; it didn't imply to me that I
needed both \bar ".|" and |. Maybe it needs an example.

As long as \bar "empty" is a possible value of bar, I can't think of a
case either. That is, I can think of a case where you would want to
restart the bar count without putting a visible bar (although that's
not the case for my incipits), but not of one where you wouldn't want
there to be a bar at all.

I would certainly think there should be some combination of options
where \bar "whatever" resets the bar count.
