Here is a plugin that allows for "mensurstrich" bar lines (see e.g. this explanation in the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensurstrich)). The plugin builds on code by
@Lloyd and me for the "ConnectBarlines.hmm" plugin.
There are three examples attached:
- Mensurstrich.hmm.Demo is a demo score that shows that the plugin works with boundaries; what to do about collapsing staffs; and how to switch off Mensurstriche.
- DomineNeInFuroreBeginning shows how to set the first set of lines from Josquin des Prez's "Domine, ne in furore", as shown in this score at WikiMedia (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Josquin_Domine_ne_in_furore.pdf) (without the handwritten initial symbols).
- EtExsultavitBeginning shows how to add Mensurstriche to a single voice score. The example is the first line of the first score in a German PDF available here (http://www.satzlehre.de/themen/melodiekonzeption.pdf) (as of September 2017).

I see these messages when I open the score:
Also, your score references the object "Mensurstrich.fso", which can't be found on the forum, since your posted object is named "Mensurstrich.test".
(P.S. - if you haven't already requested "hm" as your NWC Plugin ID, you should do that now. :) )
Thanks for quick review - of course, I forgot about the fonts, and then the wrong name (misusing Lloyd's ...) -> I have corrected the score ... and added the "Single" option.
My request for hmm(!) will go out in a minute :-)

I have now uploaded version 0.3 which works with boundary changes and can also be used with collapsing staffs.

... and 0.4 - which fixes a bug with boundaries with an unchecked Lower/Upper checkbox.
