I think it would be cleaner to use existing bracket formatting code
(which supports edge-height, bracket-flare etc.), and provide a separate
Volta_bracket::after_line_breaking, which sets edge-height depending on
the type of barline. You could then change the vertical bar by switching
off the after-line-breaking-callback. Then you can change the appearance
with the ordinary bracket properties.

Sounds good to me. I'll sponsor that if it isn't a big undertaking - in that case I'll need a co-sponsor. Any takers?
