I don’t and I’m glad Lily does it right for me.
Part of the point in automated typesetting is to disable people from
making errors – which, as can be seen in many publications even from
major houses, happens very easily.
and can just as easily type a key change etc. before or
after the bar check. Lilypond's insistence on orthodoxy does not save
us any effort whatsoever.
It saves having to remember and stick to the correct order for anybody
using bar checks.
I am getting your point, and I hear in your writing the anxiety to make
the proposal at all, for which I feel sorry. Flexibility and striving
for perfection do not easily go together…
What about doing it only with explicit \bar "" commands? (That is no
comment on technical feasibility; others need to judge about that.)
Yours, Simon
