David> Yes, I understood that. But what do we need that for?
For the Renaissance music I transcribe, the composers weren't thinking
in bar lines, so it's both unhelpful and unaesthetic to have, for
instance, a run of quarter notes interrupted by the extra space where
the non-existent barlines would be if they existed.
The way I finally figured out how to do this with the old bar line
interface was that instead of saying that the default bar type was
either empty or "", I leave the default bar type, and make it
transparent, and then remove the padding. But I never figured out how
to remove the padding from an empty or null bar line.
I hope that the new interface both makes more sense than the old one,
and still allows me to set barless music without ugly gaps where the bar
lines aren't.
