Yes...that's one of the caveats...what-beat won't work if you don't
precede notes with a |

Hmmmm. I just tried, and what-beat should ignore \bar. But when I call
what-beat when a \bar command is visible (eg between the last unquoted
| and point), I get a useless 'end of buffer' message instead of a
beat count.

I'll fix \bar if you want, but offhand I'm inclined not to. It's easy
to add | before or after \bar "|", for when you want measures counted
before/after \bar. In other words, yes its a bug, but there's an easy
workaround, and fixing the bug would be for the sake of completeness,
rather than adding functionality.
