not yet, but it would be simple.

yes, try \bar "empty"; It creates a breakpoint. LilyPond will sort
out where to break lines

Mats will be looking into that.

Not directly. I don't want to pollute Lily's input data structures
with support for this kind of exotic notation, so there has to be some
more generic mechanism for specifying this kind of thing.

Hmmm. Could be done ...

Yep. See ly/dynamic.ly
