Are we both talking about the symbol that occurs at the end of bars 22 and 38?

I'm not certain if this has come up before, but you can see a different kind of caesura in input/test/divisiones.ly
The kind of caesura that Daniel and I are more familiar with is a bigger version of that symbol, and doubled (two slashes). Maybe some people started putting two of them together in order to make it easier to see the difference between a virgula and a caesura? There's probably some interesting history in the evolution of that mark. :)
Another issue I see is that apparently Caesura has another meaning of which I was not aware. I'm not sure where in Lily doc's I saw it but it has to do with early music.
