Given Bernard's statement, and that we are proposing incompatibilities anyway,
I would propose that you only use a line if you _DO_ want barlines between staves.
In other words, the default is not to join staves, but you can put a line between if you
want barlines.

Dear Jef,

I have written the following in the standard about
%%staves. Please read it carefully:

If voice blocks, voice groups, or single voices are
separated from each other by a '|' character, no bar
lines will be drawn between the associated staves.

Example:

    

  
%%staves Solo [(S A) (T B)] | {RH (LH1 LH2)}
    

  

Shouldn't that be

%%staves Solo [(S A) | (T B)] | {RH (LH1 LH2)}

since the barline would interfere with any words sung. The only regular
place that barlines *are* drawn through is in keyboard work.
