But what do we need that for? For the Renaissance music I transcribe, the composers weren't thinking in bar lines, so it's both unhelpful and unaesthetic to have, for instance, a run of quarter notes interrupted by the extra space where the non-existent barlines would be if they existed. The way I finally figured out how to do this with the old bar line interface was that instead of saying that the default bar type was either empty or "", I leave the default bar type, and make it transparent, and then remove the padding. But I never figured out how to remove the padding from an empty or null bar line. I hope that the new interface both makes more sense than the old one, and still allows me to set barless music without ugly gaps where the bar lines aren't.
Hmmm - with the new interface, nonexistent bar lines are not supported (yet), but I think that \bar #f or \defaultBarType = ##f *could* be made to work. On the other hand, why don't you just remove the Bar_engraver when you don't need it at all? I had not typeset music without bars so far, but this seems to me to be the easiest way to handle such situations. Regards, Marc
