No; the goal of a snippet is to show a single new feature; having
bar checks in there can confuse newbies.  That's also why I
discourage having slurs / accents / accidentals if they're not
relevant to the snippet in question.

The templates serve a different purpose, so the bar checks provide
a good reminder to newbies to add them in their own music.
