When two voices share a staff, surely the symbols ought to be merged?

Jan> too little space?
Yes, the notes just after the barline are almost touching the
barline. The stem is so close that it almost requires a magnuifying
glass to see they're not actually touching (when printed at 600dpi).

Is there documentation on any of this, yet? You're using features
that are not in the mudela document, and are not in any of the
examples.

Second measure. There's a complete bar, then a partial bar.

Doesn't matter. There's a bar line in between.

So if a system ends with a double bar line, the next system starts
with one at the leftmost edge. Can that leftmost line (te one that
joins staves into systems) be thickened slightly?

Well, not exactly. The piece is in 4/2 time, with an anacrucis at
the start of each line, the duration for the anacrucis taken from the end
of the same line. Your amended time puts the stresses in the
wrong places.
I.e., each line after the first is supposed to be
weak | strong weak medium weak | strong weak medium ||
The definition you give yields
strong | strong weak medium weak | strong weak weak ||
I guess it doesn't matter if I'm just producing printed music (if it
*looks* right the musicians will *play* it right).
BTW, the version of diademata you sent back doesn't work. I get:
