I have been able to get transparent note stems working. Now I am trying to create to short vertical lines on each side of the stemless notes to indicate that there is a string of words sung on that one note in free time. I tried using the \barOne and \barTwo definitions in the Gregorian chant template, but lilypond is refusing to process that. Any suggestions? Thanks again.
