Sorry, all: I was, as Mats guessed, asking about general notation
practice. And it seems like the correct generalization with regards to
notation practice is: barlines never *cross* brackets; not all
brackets result in bars, but where barlines are written, they never
cross the boundaries of bracketted staves.

Is this last generalization true (in terms of general notation)? I
might not be looking closely enough at actual scores?
