How do they deal with the segno at the end of a line though? The
tracker example is aligned as a normal barline (i.e., with the
double-bar at the right edge), but this is going to be tricky to
achieve just for this case using BarLine grobs.

It's not really ideal, but I can't think of anything better.

I agree it's not really worth the bother since it likely to be a niche
symbol; on the other hand, your current implementation represents a
departure from the default behaviour of all the existing barlines: all
of them scale properly (either using 'line-count/'line-positions or
'staff-space).

This would be great, and a much better fit for the new segno.

I don't think that would be too difficult, since it's no problem for
an engraver to create more than one type of grob.
