I actually proposed adding a short section in 2.1.1 on July 6th and
nobody demurred, which is why I went ahead and did it.
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.
The section I've added also clarifies how bar lines are created
and the difference from bar checks, which confuses no end of
people. And yes, I do think that bars should come before
accidentals.
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.
