I have now found another solution following an idea described here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-04/msg00908.html It overrides the bar-line::calc-glyph-name in output-lib.scm which is responsible of removing the "||" bar: ====================== \version "2.12.2" % cribbed from output-lib.scm version 2.12 #(define my-bar-glyph-alist '((":|:" .
