Re: How do I force a bar line?

[Jim Sabatke]

Thanks!  That partly worked.  I had to change it to 
"\partial 64 s64" or I would get 2 huge empty bars at the 
start of line.

Problem: Now a single bar line is printed right before 
closing "||" and ":|" bar lines.  Can I eliminate this?

Problem 2: The solution printed the bar beginning "||" lines 
before the time signature.  Researching the web, I found the 
following:

        \override Score.BreakAlignment #'break-align-orders 
= #(make-vector  3
             '(span-bar
               clef
               breathing-sign
               key
               time-signature
               staff-bar
               ))

This changes the order, but the clef and key signs are 
printed over each other.  How do I get the key sign "after" 
the clef?

Thanks,
