Sorry to leave you hanging--I haven't had much time to devote to
LilyPond recently.

I've got the engraver working so you can have independent frames on
separate staves.  I haven't been able to test it very much, so do let
me know if it looks like I've broken something.

There's several issues that I do know about, however.

The first is that the extender lines will push barlines out of the
way.  I suppose you could set the 'X-extent of any BarLine you want to
cross to '(+inf.0 . -inf.0) as I did in the example in
`frameEngraver4.ly'.  Here I removed the BarLine engraver.  I suppose
you could work with very large bars if you want barlines in some
places,  Let me know if you find a technique that works here.

The second issue is that you have to experiment with the extender
lengths to get the right values.

Anyway, HTH!
