Dear Nike,
Having explored the measureBarType or \defineBarLine myself this morning, I
ultimately came up with the following solution, which may not be a proper way
necessarily, but it is a way I could trick the LilyPond to do what needs to be
accomplished. Essentially, I came up with a new Staff, called dashBarBetween,
which is actually a copy of the left hand of staff of the Klavier I. However, I
omitted everything, except the barline, which I specified “!” as its default
setting. I have then adjusted the distance between the Klavier I StaffGroup and
this dashBarBetween, and dashBarBetween and Klavier II, adjusting the barline
length of the dashBarBetween by \override BarLine.bar-extent = #'(-5 . 5),
which you can control later.
Maybe there’s a more elegant solution, but trying to do some kind of
Mensurstriche technique didn’t get me far.
I hope this helps!
