Here is my MWE. It seems rather naive, and I feel there must be more
intelligent ways to do this. Here's a basis for help to start with,
hopefully making clearer what I want.
The disadvantage here of course is that the heavier barlines have to be
manually inserted. Not a large effort, but just does not seem smooth.
%====
\version "2.19.82"
music = {
\time 5/4
\scaleDurations 5/1 {
c'4 c'16 c' c' c' c'4 c' c'
\bar "."
c'4 c'8 c' c'4 c' c'
\bar "."
}
}
\score {
\new Staff \music
\layout {}
}
