I have looked into some other editions (Bärenreiter, Peters,
Breitkopf & Härtel, Schott) - the barlines are always thicker than
the stafflines.
Yes, but by how much?
Maybe these extremely thick barlines are a German practice. I note that
all the editions you mentioned are from Germany or Austria, and in my
own library, the thickest barlines seem to belong to editions from
German-speaking or heavily German-influenced areas (Henle, Könemann
[actually Hungarian], Wiener Urtext). Thinner barlines are used by
American publishers such as Schirmer and International. I have not
investigated editions from other countries yet.
I'll post scans of all this later today.
