Simon,
Actually Lilypond does check the bar checks and notifies if an incorrect number of beats (as stated in the \time) are in a measure.

When I had a measure that took more than one line of input, I used to try to make that clear by indenting the continuation line a bit further, but that was lost on any auto-indenting.

These bar checks are mostly for humans to ease reading of the code, not for machine interpreting. Yours, Simon
