Re: |: not printed after ||

[Mats Bengtsson]

It seems this is a feature that was introduced a long time ago
and has not been actively taken into consideration when Lilypond
has evolved. I just tried in 1.6.8 and you are right that
\bar "||:" gives an empty bar line in the middle of a score line,
however at a line break, it gives the desired  "||" at the end of
the first line and "|:" at the beginning of the next.

So, it should work, at least if you force a line break with
\bar "||:" \break \repeat ...
