Could you explain what you didn't like in my suggestion that said "if
the music is more than 3 bars long, use a "|." barline; if it's 3 or
less use a "|" barline"?  I think that it quite nicely addresses the
problem you pointed out above.

best,

PS concerning the dot in bar strings, there is one more reason why i'd
prefer not to use it for thick barline: i'd like to use it for dotted
barline.  Currently dotted barline is ";" and dashed barline is "!".
It would be much more user-friendly and intuitive if dotter barline
was "." and dashed barline ",".
