Dear Kieren,
Thank you for the suggestions. Now I have another knob to study and play
with!
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.20/Documentation/notation/layout-properties
My solution:
AmenBars = {
\skip 1*2/4
\once\revert Score.BarLine.stencil
\once\override Staff.BarLine.extra-spacing-width = #'(-1 . 0)
\bar "||"
}
Many thanks,
mattfong
