Does MusiXTeX already have support for "short" barlines (to use Sibelius's
terminology) - connecting lines 2, 3, 4 only (an equivalent OpusTeX's
Gregorian \divisiominor)?

I coded one using:

\def\setdivisiominor{%
  \def\barrul@{\hbox{\advance\systemheight by
-4\internote\advance\altplancher by
2\internote\raise\altplancher\rlap{\vrule\@depth\hlthick\@height\systemheigh
t\@width\lthick}}\addspace\lthick}}%

but that's a bit of a hack and I've only implemented it for \stdbarrules
(though adding support for \sepbarrules would not be hard).

But have I missed something? Is there already support elsewhere in MusiXTeX
for doing this?

If it's worth spinning it into a proper patch, then I'm happy to add both it
and the "tick" (barline crossing the top stave line only - \divisiominima in
OpusTeX/opusgre).
