OK. :-)

This creates a bit of a problem because the main stave is _already_
within a StaffGroup, so the default barline style of the 'master'
subgroup overrides (or overprints, rather...) the dashed barline.
Asking to overcome that limitation is probably too much, but I can work
around it by rejigging the groupings a bit. However, there is another
issue -- 'glyph-name=#":" has a problem that when the staves are not
spaced perfectly, there is a big gap between the stave and the beginning
of the dots.
Is there any other way of getting effective dotted or dashed
between-stave barlines? I would have expected 'stencil to be the
property to set, but can find no examples ...
Thanks again,
-- Joe
