Thanks Phil and eluze,
with your information I found my way around. One of the tricks was, that I
didn't recognize, that the separator symbol is constructed from the beam-glyph.
Thanks a lot! I had been fiddling around with that for a long time. Would a
user handle for positioning the separator and a collision avoidance for it be a
feature worthwhile including in a future version of Lilypond?
Best regards,
Kai
