Re: Bar Line Thickness

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi David,

> Is there a way to adjust the bar lines to be as thick or thin as one wants?

See snippet below.
In particular note that, within \layout { \context { \Staff…, you don’t need to 
\override Staff.Grob, but just \override Grob

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
