Re: little bar at the beginning of a one-staff-system

There is a tiny estatical detail I would like to change, but found out nowhere how to do it:

I would like to have a bar at the beginning of the system here:

 

{ a }

%like here:
\new TabStaff { a }

%or here:
<<
{a}
{b}
>>

 

Do you think there is a possibility or is it conceptually just not possible. I am still at the beginning of the lerning curve. But dirty hacks are also welcome if nothing else is available.

Hi Rafael

welcome to Lilypond!

Something like this?

\version "2.18.0"

{

  \bar ".|:"

  a

}

I suggest starting your search from the index of the Notation Reference:

Did you read the Learning Manual?
