Bar check
Whenever a bar check is encountered during interpretation, a warning
message is issued if it doesn't fall at a measure boundary. This can
help you find errors in the input. Depending on the value of
barCheckNoSynchronize, the beginning of the measure will be
relocated, so this can also be used to shorten measures.
A bar check is entered using the bar symbol, |:
\time 3/4 c2 e4 | g2.
Failed bar checks are most often caused by entering incorrect
durations. Incorrect durations often completely garble up the score,
especially if it is polyphonic, so you should start correcting the score
by scanning for failed bar checks and incorrect durations. To speed up
this process, you can use skipTypesetting (See Skipping corrected music)). Bar
