Simon showed how to whiteout barlines, but Krzysztof also asked

Seems like a good feature request. Could you please write a concise
description with the examples, preferably as images, and write to
bug-lilyp...@gnu.org?
Best, Simon
Any non-hackish solution would be anything but trivial, and I doubt
that there is enough interrest in that area.
One example: The feature request to allow the use of the original
hyphen of the lyrics font is more than 6 years old ;-)
It’s always the same in LilyPond development: Everything is done by
volunteers, and a feature gets implemented or a bug fixed, if someone
has the time, skills and wants to do it. Nothing else. ‘Interest’ from
others or even bounties play a negligible role. But it helps to have a
tracker for the feature request, so the information isn’t lost in the
archives.
Advantages of this solution: All that could be done in c / c++ /
postscript, no need for scheme.
As there is no need to understand and change the blackbox lilypond
it's much easier and faster
to implement.
That’s an interesting statement. I’d’ve thought the c++ part was the
‘blackbox’ part of LilyPond and Scheme the connection to the surface…
But to each his own.
If you were to fix
<https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/1255/>, that would
certainly be very welcome. The design part could be discussed, and the
Scheme part is quite simple, I think (just adding text-interface to
LyricHyphen?). But I’m afraid you’d have to work yourself through some
code and shed light into the ‘blackbox’ yourself…
Best, Simon
