Barre grob - appearance

[Thomas Morley]

Hi all,

being a professional guitarist I always missed a possibility to use a
barré-sign which fits all needs. Ofcourse, one can find several
codings here on the list, in LSR, I have some own as well. All are
(ab)using spanners like TextSpanner or hijacking other grobs like
Arpeggio.
Though, we don't have a barre-grob.
Well, I thought I could begin to implement such a barre-grob. To do so
and to fullfill the claimed "fits all needs" one should follow some
basic steps, imho.

(1) Appearance
(2) Requirements
(3) Coding

Ad (1)
In printed editions several different barre-signs are in use. Attached
you'll find all kinds of  barre-signs I'm aware of (rebuilt with
LilyPond, don't ask for the code, it's all pure manual).

For now I only like to ask if there are other appearances of barre-signs.
It would be great if you could post an image, if you find are barre
sign not covered by the attached pdf!

Thanks,
  Harm
