While I was able to successfully create a custom barline (I gave it a name
and inserted the Lilypond symbol four times as prompted), I can't seem to
find a way to insert this newly created barline in music without using
Directives->Insert LilyPond. Any advice? In other words, where can one find
the command to insert the newly created custom barline?

Thank you!
