That looks great. Also my ignorance is showing here as Nicolas'
custom-bar file is all in Scheme and not an engraver which is what I
assume is required/preferred in the main code.

However I think it would be useful in our snippets doc at least for
2.15.38 (if there is one) onwards until you have you new code worked
out. While it won't compile on the LSR I believe that we can still add
it as a snippet for our Doc?

If Nicolas (as it is his work) and the dev team agree I can make that
happen with a patch.

Hi,

Someone asked exactly the same question on the French users mailing
list today.  Here is an approximate translation of Nicolas Sceaux'
answer, that might interest you:

 By using this library file:
 https://github.com/nsceaux/nenuvar/blob/master/common/custom-bars.ily
 one can introduce a dashed double bar line with  \bar ";;"
 See the example file test-custom-bars.ily in the same directory.
