I worked on this a long while ago.  My focus was on boxes with extender
lines and timings, but there
is an option to use barlines.  Not real barlines, simulated ones.

This code might be far more than you want, though it does have limitations. 
The biggest one (other than "simulated barlines") is that it
won't work with patterns occupying more than one staff.  (I would love to
have a mentor with this one.)

So...for what it's worth, see the attached.

I can't compile this file as there are several undefined functions.
