Re: bar line

[Hugh Myers]

Brett,

Thanks for the hint. The URL is where I got the notion for what I
wrote in the first place. In the source, firstPoly repeats, once with
firstPolyRepeat as an ending and once with secondMono as an ending.
That is what I want, but as you say not what I asked for. None of the
examples I've seen thus far(hardly exhaustive) match what I need, so
what I wrote was a guess based on what I saw. More hints welcome at
this point ;)
