Yes. I would estimate that 95% of the time, I use the default behaviour (i.e.,
stopping at the barline), as is also recommended by all respected notation
guides (e.g., Gould). In the remaining 5% of cases, I manually tweak the
behaviour.

You’re the only one I remember asking about it in recent years.
If you want to change this — or any other default — for your scores, I would
recommend creating a file (named “Lilypond.ily”, or “default_override.ily”, or
similar), which you simply \include in all scores using (e.g.)
\include “Lilypond.ily”
In that file, you can put things like
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override Hairpin.to-barline = ##f
}
}
and your scores will behave as you wish them to.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
