Re: Gregorian "half bar line" in normal mode

[Tom Dickson]

Hello,

This almost works perfectly - however, it still prints the actual  
barline (or puts the space for it if I set it transparent) as seen here:

What I'm trying to do is get the end of a line end with a half bar  
(instead of the more proper open bar) so I can break like music at the  
verse lines. What'd I'd really like is to be able to add something  
like \bar "halfbar" or similar.
