I'm totally confused now.  If you add a | to every bar, lilypond will 
tell you if you have the wrong number of beats/bar.  Other than Orm's 
suggestion, are you suggesting that lilypond should do | checks 
automatically?  I disagree; users can add | if they want, and if they 
don't want it, they can save processing time.

If you're not talking about automatic | checks, then...?
