Huh?  You _never_ "need" a barcheck since the association with time,
score, voices etc _always_ happens automagically.

Aren't you missing the whole point of barchecks?  The idea is to have a
check for the music still being synchronized with the measures, in order
to be able to figure out where one forget or added a beat accidentally
without having to read the whole output score.

That is particularly important when using \addlyrics (I get the lyrics
timing wrong much more often at first try than I get the note timing
wrong).

What makes you think he wants "to insert manual durations"?  He does
_not_, I repeat _not_ insert any manual duration in his example.  Which
illustrates a very good point.

\addlyrics should really _store_ all the barchecks, and "execute" them
_after_ associating the lyrics with a voice, once the timing is
established.

I am surprised that it doesn't, and would count that as a bug.
