Well, sometimes it's still buggy. I'll try to improve, when I find some time...

It _is_ a criticism which already came to my mind :)
To shanghai a grob for a purpose it wasn't made for, will most likely
cause troubles somewhere.

Likely better to create a new grob for piano-hand-indicator and while
on it a barre-indicator for guitar.

Probably not that trivial, in any case very time consuming, I suppose.

Best,
