I am no sure to understand what you want, but if you aim to use the
symbol called "responsum", an R with a bar through it, you just have to
code:
<sp>R/</sp>
at the corresponding place (into the lyrics part of gabc). It is
possible that the response symbol doesn't get bold, but since it stands
at the beginning of the line, it is not absurd that it is not bold: from
what you say, I understand that you want to indicate with bold texts the
parts to be read as answers by the faithful, and the symbol "response"
itself is not read as such and could remain not bold.

I suppose you placed that Rbar glyph at the very place of the white
space into the font. I would leave the fonts unchanged an just apply the
piece of code I described above.
Happy new year to all.
