Folks,

please consider the attached images from Beethoven piano sonata
op. 14/1, first movement.  They show the beginning and end of the
first repeat.  As can be seen, the slur in the prima-volta box is
'anchored' to the bar line at its right end.  How could this be done
in LilyPond?  A work-around is to have another voice so that I can
attach the end to, say, a final, invisible 1/32 note.  However, if
there is prefatory matter before the bar line (e.g., a time
signature), this still doesn't bring the end of the slur near to the
bar line.

A similar problem exists with ties in volta boxes: right now, we
recommend `\laissezVibrer`, however, this doesn't automatically
increases the tie length so that it reaches to the end of the bar.

You might follow the next two links, which discuss this very issue for
MusicXML.

Having solutions for this problem would also be very beneficial for
musicology papers, which often 'cite' a single bar of a larger musical
phrase; here we would even need the ability to display slurs that are
anchored at *both* sides to the start and end of bar (or staff line)
