What if I wanted the parts explicit?  How would I get the bars aligned, 
i.e. 8 bars
per line with even spacing so the bars all line up up and down the 
page?  The first line is obviously problematic, but the others don't 
really line up all their bars.  Is there a switch to make all bars equal 
length?

(Based on Mats fine example)
