Thank you for the suggestion once again. I thank you for having spent some time on it. The whole idea is to create a mirror image of the compound barline on the beginning of the example, which means that they must align to the right, not to the left. Now it is a copy of the system at the beginning, and you can also get there inserting a space in the barline definition of the \bar"||-!", without needing the actual movement.
I have tried moving the lower and middle portion of the barline so as to force the program to build the compound barline correctly, but so far it simply makes the dotted portion disappear. I believe the problem is that with the solid barline, the program seems to count distances from the left side of the construct rather than the right when alligning it with other barlines in the same part of the system. I am not sure as I haven't seen the source code (and most probably wouldn't see it if it hit me in the face with a 10-foot pole tbh, I need to brush up my programming skills a few thousand parsecs to match), but this is a "phenomenological" interpretation of the facts, if you like. It "seems" to count distances from the left. However, I could VERY EASILY be wrong, and by all means I hope I am. Thanks again! S.A. -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html
