Re: Barline after time signature

The contemporary piece I am setting uses barlines right after every change of time signature, before any notes. I am unable to see how to do this. If I manually place a barline in this location lilypond ignores the instruction. Can this be done?

Hight Andrew,

You can use this snippet : http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/snippets/repeats#repeats-printing-a-repeat-sign-at-the-beginning-of-a-piece

for ex:

\version "2.17.20"

\defineBarLine "o|" #'("" "|" "") 

\relative c'' {

  \once \override Score.BreakAlignment.break-align-orders =

    #(make-vector 3 '(instrument-name

                      left-edge

                      ambitus

                      breathing-sign

                      clef

                      key-signature

                      time-signature

                      staff-bar

                      custos))                      

  \once \override Staff.TimeSignature.space-alist =

#'((first-note . (fixed-space . 2.0))

(right-edge . (extra-space . 0.5))

(staff-bar . (extra-space . 1))) \bar "o|"

  c c c c

}
