Jürgen and all,
I've attached two images of the first system produced for regression test
input/breathing-sign-ancient.ly and included the relevant portion of the input
below.
The current version of master adds some horizontal space after every fourth
note. It happens because there are transparent "|" bar lines there.
It is easy to eliminate those spaces by changing the default bar line to "" in
gregorian.ly, and the other attached image shows the result. I am willing to
create a ticket and submit the change for review, but I don't have the
background to judge whether a change is desirable.
Regards,
Dan

Gregorian chant notation sometimes also uses commas and ticks, but in
smaller font size (we call it `virgula' and `caesura'). However, the
most common breathing signs are divisio minima/@/maior/@/maxima and
finalis, the latter three looking similar to bar glyphs.
