Re: How do I force a bar line?

[Mats Bengtsson]

One trick is to start the piece with
\partial 16 s16 \bar "||"

Pipers are very picky about how their music is printed, hence this and 
other questions I will be asking.

QUESTION:  How do I force a bar immediately after the time signature at 
the beginning of a piece?  I've tried the following, and many other 
things, with no success:

\notes {
    \time 2/2
    \tieUp
    \stemDown
    \slurUp
    \key d \major
    \relative c'
    \transpose c c' {
        #(add-grace-property 'Voice 'Stem 'length 6)
        #(add-grace-property 'Voice 'Stem 'thickness 1.0)
===>>>  \bar "||" \noBreak
        \partial 64*12
        e'8 a'16
        \noBreak %% Line: 1 Bar: 1
        \dbhg g'4 a'8[ e'8] \dbhg g'4 \tg d'8[ e'8]  |
        \noBreak %% Line: 1 Bar: 2
TIA,
