No worries!

I currently use the 'outboard' version you made a few years ago, which remains 
great — but it will be wonderful to have the functionality 'inboard'.

Thanks,
Kieren.

Measure-attached spanners (e.g. "<--  Safety -->" ) comes to mind
immediately.


I've got a patch for these.  I can post it but it ought to wait for 2.20 to
be locked in.

Pedals?

Ah… there it is.  =)

Each on a different one, yes.

Well, in addition to other problems \bar is a music function call and
those cannot take articulations because of syntactic ambiguities.

You mean

{
  c1
  \bar "||"
  \fermata
  \bar "|." \fermata
}

would place both fermatas on the barlines?


   I don't think that this idea is
as good as it may appear to you.


I wouldn’t claim to be able to assess the consequences.

Well, I just put up issue 5161 since I needed slurs to end at a repeat
bar line.

There is the reverse problem at the start of a coda or the start of any
alternative but the first.  You'll have the same basically for hairpins,
of course.  Accordion bellows direction change marks may be placed over
a barline rather than the first following note if the direction does not
change fast again.

Making a bar line an event would then place per-chord articulation marks
of the following note on the bar line.  I don't think that this idea is
as good as it may appear to you.

I have difficulty imagining use cases. Is to-barline really used for 
anything else than hairpins? In hairpins there are just those two 
different conventions (or preferences, or use cases) where a 
(de)crescendo which musically ends on the first beat of the next bar may 
be drawn up to that beat or to the barline, but there is no analogy to 
that at the beginning of the bar. (Except that in manuscripts and 
hand-engravings hairpins often don’t align with notes or anything to any 
kind of precision, so there are probably enough examples for hairpins 
starting on barlines.)
I certainly can imagine that _attaching_ spanners, or fermatas, to 
barlines would be great. Which would not involve a from-barline 
property, but rather, … uhm, … making bar lines events? (always? only if 
necessary?) (Standard disclaimer: this is not a serious proposal due to 
my lack of knowledge on implementation)
