I looked at them and it's not clear why you need the barlines on
separate lines to line up exactly. It's desirable for them *not* to
line up because it makes it easier to distinguish the lines from one
another (and also not to skip over a line when reading).

Anyway, assuming you do have a good reason for it, I'm glad you got there.
