Mid-Bar Breaking

[Will Oram]

If I do this, I get a midbar break without complaining:

g4 r r\fermata \bar "||" \break
                r4
a b c d

The side effect of this is that, regardless of whether the next line 
has any music in it or not, it is still shown. Normally multibar rest 
hiding would cover this, but because of the quarter rest pushed to the 
next line, this line technically contains music and is shown. In 
sections of large scores in which the majority of instruments are not 
playing, this means a LOT of instruments doing nothing are printed 
anyway.

This can be ameliorated by capitalising the quarter rest:

 g4 r r\fermata \bar "||" \break
                R4
a b c d

The side effect of THIS, though, is that lily complains of a failed bar 
check. Multiply this warning for every instrument performing, and you 
get a very, very long output in terminal through false alarms. There 
has to be a way to get the output of the second phrase without all the 
complaints. Right?
