bar-line-interface

Bar line.

Print a special bar symbol. It replaces the regular bar symbol with a special symbol. The argument bartype is a string which specifies the kind of bar to print. Options are :|, |:, :|:, ||, |., .|, and .|..

These produce, respectively, a right repeat, a left repeat, a double repeat, a double bar, a start bar, an end bar, and a thick double bar. If bartype is set to empty then nothing is printed, but a line break is allowed at that spot.


bar-size (dimension, in staff space)
size of a bar line.
bar-size-procedure (procedure)
Procedure that computes the size of a bar line.
break-glyph-function (procedure)
function taking glyph and break-direction, returning the glyph at a line break.
glyph (string)
a string determining what (style) of glyph is typeset. Valid choices depend on the function that is reading this property. .
hair-thickness (number)
