No. For example, we don't know if a bar will have its clef displayed
until after line-breaking. Also, the vertical collision avoidance means
that in { c1^"long long markup" c1^"long long markup" }, we cannot
calculate the height of the second bar without considering the first bar
too (and the answer will change if they are on different lines).

Yes, I have one prepared, but I'm still testing it. Don't want to
release another bad one...
