Re: Dynamics collide with span bar (was Re: Chord names collide with span bar)

Many thanks, Aaron. So here is a cleaner MWE, with your fix:

%%%%
\version "2.25.13"
#(ly:set-option 'debug-skylines #t)
\layout {
 \context { \Score
  \override NonMusicalPaperColumn.show-horizontal-skylines = ##t
 }
}

\layout {
 \context { \Dynamics
   \consists Pure_from_neighbor_engraver
   \remove Bar_engraver
 }
}

\score {
 \new GrandStaff <<
   \new Staff \relative { e''4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 }
   \new Dynamics { s1 | s1 \ppp  }
   \new Staff \relative { d''4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 }
 >>
}
%%%%


Then, it should be added that transposing your first fix (namely, 
BarLine.bar-extent = #'(0 . 1) and transparent = ##t) DOES solve the issue WITH 
“Bar_engraver” consisted. How does that make sense? I probably don’t get what 
"Span_bar_stub_engraver getting tripped up by the Bar_engraver” entails. It 
might be useful to keep it in mind, in order to identify cases where the fix 
messes up something.
Same MWE as above, with this instead:

\layout {
 \context { \Dynamics
   \consists "Bar_engraver"
   \override BarLine.bar-extent = #'(0 . 1)
   \override BarLine.transparent = ##t
 }
}
