Sorry, I only look at the countdown emails... and the only reason
for that is to try to encourage other "mostly-ex project members"
to do the same.

Could I tempt you by suggesting a sentence like "Special types of
bar lines can be created with other methods, covered in
@ref{whatever}" ?  that could either link to Notation, or else to
a later section of Learning which explains these.

Ultimately this is just a suggestion; I don't feel that I have the
authority to insist on anything at this point.  I've given my
feedback; do what you think is best.
