Hi,

I tried the (relatively) new bar line interface:
\version "2.17.12"
\defineBarLine "|:" #'(":||" "" "|:")   % a)
\defineBarLine ":||" #'(":.." "" " ||") % b)

\new StaffGroup <<
    \new Staff { a1 \bar "|:" a \bar "|:" }
    \new Staff { f'1 f' }
I have four questions:

1) When using definition in line a), LilyPond complains about a missing
span bar line style. Should I add line b) to define it?

2) Is the space in " ||" right in line  b) to align the span bar lines
properly?
Hi Joram,

I'll try to answer your first two questions while demonstrating a step
by step example.
Hi Harm,

kudos for this detailed explanation! I wonder if the documentation about
bar lines should be enhanced in this way, or is there a place where this
information can be stored and made available for all users?
It is orthogonal to us making \bar "|:" and \bar ":|" well-defined by
letting : automatically imply a thick bar since nothing else makes
sense.
I don't think that this is the problem Joram struggled with.

If the majority of users and developers think that explicitly using
the dot "." for a thick bar line is suboptimal, then

cced43289cf170305e6e6517180659a1c4fa91db

should never have happened. Feel free to revert it.

I for myself use \repeat volta ... without having to cater for
manual repeat bar lines at all ;-)

Regards,

Marc
