Hi Jan-Peter (and anyone else still interested in this thread): In the end, the conductor of my chamber opera asked to have the bar lines solid for all measures, but 50% grey and slightly thicker than default as the "baseline", and black and slightly thicker still for bar lines concurrent with a time signature change — I easily adapted the engraver and my context defaults to suit.
He is thrilled with the result**, and hence so am I. (** He goes so far as to say that this should be the standard notation practice!) Thanks again, Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
