#### BarLine

BarLine objects are created by: Bar_engraver

Standard settings:

`break-align-symbol` (symbol):
  `'staff-bar`

  This key is used for aligning and spacing breakable items.

`glyph` (string):
  `|`

  a string determining what (style) of glyph is typeset. Valid choices depend on the function that is reading this property.

`layer` (number):
  `0`

  The output layer [0..2]: layers define the order of printing objects. Objects in lower layers are overprinted by objects in higher layers.

`break-visibility` (vector):
  `#(#t #t #t)`

  A vector of 3 booleans, #(end-of-line unbroken begin-of-line). #t means visible, #f means killed.

`breakable` (boolean):
  `#t`

  Can this object appear at a line break, like clefs and bar lines?

`bar-size` (dimension, in staff space):
  `ly:bar-line::calc-bar-size`

  size of a bar line.

`space-alist` (list):
  `'((time-signature extra-space . 0.75) (custos minimum-space . 2.0) (clef minimum-space . 1.0) (key-signature extra-space . 1.0) (key-cancellation extra-space . 1.0) (first-note fixed-space . 1.3) (next-note semi-fixed-space . 1.3) (right-edge extra-space . 0.0))`

  A table that specifies distances between prefatory items, like clef and time-signature. The format is an alist of spacing tuples: `(`break-align-symbol type`.` distance`)`, where type can be the symbols `minimum-space` or `extra-space`.

`kern` (dimension, in staff space):
  `3.0`

  Amount of extra white space to add. For bar line, this is the amount of space after a thick line.

`thin-kern` (number):
  `3.0`

  The space after a hair-line in a bar line.

`hair-thickness` (number):
  `1.9`

  Thickness of the thin line in a bar line.

`thick-thickness` (number):
  `6.0`

  Bar line thickness, measured in `line-thickness`.

This object supports the following interfaces: font-interface, break-aligned-interface, bar-line-interface, item-interface and grob-interface
