Ok, sounds like a good deal ;-)

What exactly do you mean by :spanbar ("xxx" "yyy")?

As Janek pointed out some months ago, he wanted to be able
to define separate span-bar types on-the-fly, so we probably
should end up with something like

(define-bar-type "|:"
   ".|:" :prebreak "|" :postbreak ".|:"
   :spanbar ".|" :spanbar-prebreak "|" :spanbar-postbreak ".|")

?
