Re: line breaks

Hi everybody!

Me too... Not knowing much of Lilypond-internals I would guess notes are 
represented as lists or whatsoever with each element aissgned a length. 
So "real" bar only occur when the end of a bar coincidents with no 
element crossing it.

IMO Lilypond "users" speaking of bar lines deal with "visible" bar 
lines, so with your comment added to the manual everyone should be satified.

That's exactly what I tried before. It was easy to type the input, but I 
wasn't able to get appropriate line breaks. (see below)

Yes, I know that section, but it won't give appropriate line breaks. 
Neither with "Note_heads_engraver" nor "Completion_heads_engraver" it 
was possible to make Lilypond break at "visible" bar lines with note 
length crossing it.

My guess: Line breaks are only possible where there are "real" bar lines 
(see above). Is this right?
