Full and instrument divided bars

Normally, bars (as well as double bars, final bars and repeat bars) are drawn as a continuous line, starting for the bottom of the lower staff of the lower instrument, and ending at the top of the upper staff of the upper instrument. However, one may want to have discontinuous bars, that is, one continuous bar for all the staffs of a unique instrument. This is done by issuing the command normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\sepbarrules. An example of this is given in the normalshapemediumseriesANGESCAO (or normalshapemediumseriesANGESCAM) example; it has also been used in the example of section [*].

The initial situation can be forced or restored by normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\stdbarrules.
