I am not sure it will.  It addresses one thing that has frequently
annoyed me, but in this particular case, the staff lines turn out as
minuscule stubs not reaching across key and meter.  In fact, I think
that one of the original attempts had white space under the meter,
likely caused by the same problem.

So it is seemingly more than just the "no time, no bar, no service"
thing.  But that's certainly _one_ aspect of the nuisance.

We still have the whitespace under meter thing.  One can manually set a
length for the staff lines, but that seems like cheating.
