A bar line in uptext means "skip the rest of this bar".  If the bar is
already filled by spacers, the bar line applies to the next bar.
Uptext lines tend to be nearly empty and bar lines are used to get
quickly to where the action is.  I.e.
U: | | | mp
It's different on music lines where bar lines are just cosmetic, since
the notes and rests must all be there anyway,

Certainly.  D> after the note where the decresc starts, another D>
after the one where it stops.  Since D means nothing to M-Tx, it is
simply passed to PMX.

Having said that (I hope you reading this, Don), I can't get your
example to work this way. PMX complains in the case of the attached
file:
   Started one kind of hairpin while other is on

This may be a very ancient bug, since I find this in the M-Tx manual:

   Put < or > where the sign starts, and <. or >. where it ends. This
feature gives
   unpredictable results when you try to use it in more than one voice
at the same
   time.

At the time I was satisfied that the uptext method (which generates
different TeX) works even though counting elemskips is tricky, and did
not try to isolate the reason why the inline method does not.
