#### bar-line-interface

Bar line.

Print a special bar symbol. It replaces the regular bar symbol with a special symbol. The argument bartype is a string which specifies the kind of bar to print. Options are `:|`, `|:`, `:|:`, `||`, `|.`, `.|`, and `.|.`.

These produce, respectively, a right repeat, a left repeat, a double repeat, a double bar, a start bar, an end bar, and a thick double bar. In addition, there is an option `||:` which is equivalent to `|:` except at line breaks, where it produces a double bar (`||`) at the end of the line and a repeat sign (`|:`) at the beginning of the new line.If bartype is set to `empty` then nothing is printed, but a line break is allowed at that spot.

##### User settable properties:

`bar-size` (dimension, in staff space)
  size of a bar line.
`glyph` (string)
  a string determining what (style) of glyph is typeset. Valid choices depend on the function that is reading this property.
`hair-thickness` (number)
  Thickness of the thin line in a bar line.
`kern` (dimension, in staff space)
  Amount of extra white space to add. For bar line, this is the amount of space after a thick line.
`thick-thickness` (number)
  Bar line thickness, measured in `line-thickness`.
`thin-kern` (number)
  The space after a hair-line in a bar line.

##### Internal properties:

`glyph-name` (string)
  a name of character within font.
