Re: Bar line at the point where all voices overflow

[Nils Gey]

Its even easier.

You don't need to create global. The global method has the problem that you 
need to fill in all these skips.
Instead, place this before the first note in any staff:

\override Score.BarLine #'transparent = ##t

and as last item, in any staff again:

\revert Score.BarLine #'transparent         (or \override Score.BarLine 
#'transparent = ##f)
\bar "|."

This together with StaffGroup is enough for a mensural score. You can even put 
the transparent = ##t override into the movements (\score = {} ) layout block. 
I did not find a way to place the \revert (or better: the final barline) 
outside of the staff itself. If you know any, please tell me.
