So your concern is just for LP to issue warnings about *your* inattentiveness so you can debug your scores. It doesn't seem to matter to you that people writing perfectly correct scores are going to be inundated with false warnings. You've already brought this up under another thread, and http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2018-01/msg00599.html gave an example of the reason why LP does not issue warnings unless you add | characters. > >My hand written pieces often change time sig every bar, and with any > >sort of signature you like - lilypond handles that just fine, and > >places barlines as expected.

Passing over the fact that one doesn't \omit bar checks, one omits writing | characters as bar checks, irregular measure lengths would be a particularly good occasion to employ a | at the end of every measure.
