from hanging over barlines.

Well, so much for that idea.

At least I have a test case.  Use this snippet of code:


{
  %\override Staff . BarLine #'extra-spacing-height =
  %  #pure-from-neighbor-interface::extra-spacing-height
  \repeat unfold 6 { <g'''! a'''! b'''!>4 g'4 g' g' \noBreak }
}

commenting in and out the above override.  This'll give you the two options  
currently available.

It seems that Staff_spacing::get_spacing is the only place that a spring is  
being assigned between the NonMusicalPaperColumn to which the BarLine  
belongs and the PaperColumn to the left.  I get the sense that, to make  
this work, you'd have to start with the above override commented out and  
find the right cocktail of numbers to add to Staff_spacing::get_spacing.  I  
also get the sense that inverse_compress_strength and  
inverse_stretch_strength don't really make much of a difference - one would  
need to work directly with the ideal length.

Cheers,
