thanks Ted, that could do it. The tricky part though is that Bach uses a half-bar every other measure.
I ttried this but got 2 issues: 1) 5.0 is not the normal height of the bar line. Would you know what it is? 2) i put a second override to get a normal bar after a half-bar size but the second override seems to override the 1st override ??? \relative c' { \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-size = #2.0 c4 c c c | \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-size = #5.0 c c c c | } On Nov 21, 2010, at 1:14 AM, Ted Stanion wrote: > Does this do what you want? > > \version "2.12.3" > > \relative c' { > \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-size = #2.0 > c4 c c c | > c c c c | > } > > > On Sat, Nov 20, 2010 at 9:00 PM, Marc Mouries <m...@mouries.net> wrote: > thanks Nick.
