The below example, an excerpt from Michael Praetorius, Musae Sioniae
(1609), CLXXX,
demonstrates how to redefine \doublebar to draw a single barrule
Meter: 0/2
Style: SATB4
Space: 2 0 2 0
%% \makeatletter\let\doublebar\@bar\makeatother
{c1}{t1}
Ge-be-ne-deit sei Gott der Herr des Is-ra-els der h\"o{}ch-ste
{c2}{t2}
der hat be-sucht und gschik-ket her da\ss{} er sein Volk er-l\"o{}-ste
