I think that one’s on me, as I created the snippet and didn’t consider 
the case that maybe the note to be coloured might be adjacent to a bar line…
I don’t know of any other workaround for the \stopStaff/\startStaff gap, 
but of course a check should be implemented to not eliminate any 
existing bar lines. Sorry I can’t take the time to fix it myself right now…
