Actually, I've found an unintended consequence of this method, in that it changes the bar for all staves, not just the one in question. See the circle in the graphic below - all bar lines at this point were changed, not just the top line (and what's going on with the bottom line, I don't know).

Hi all, I've attached an improved version of the file here. It now handles single-staff situations (as when, for example, you remove non-active staves using \RemoveEmptyStaves), and it deals properly with name placement when a name relates to a grouping of staves (a piano part, for example).
