Hi Neil,

Actually this is pretty clever. And will certainly do for the snippets
that I've got in front of me right now, so thanks very much!

I suppose the trick will be in centering the equal sign directly over
the barline, but there are so few of these indications that
extra-offset should be fine.

Trevor.
