Nice work, Joe; it's a great fix.

I had a go at fixing it myself, but gave up after ending up with notes
colliding with clefs and multiple `no spring ...' errors. :)

A few comments:

Don't you think \bar "empty" should behave in the same way as \bar ""?
 Though it's treated differently in bar-line.cc (it's ignored
completely, so returns an empty stencil), I think users will expect it
to reflect its naming.

I notice the spacing for volte which don't start or end at a barline
is tighter (it matches the behaviour without volte), though this is
probably preferable (as an aside, the volta brackets are right at the
top of the page in the pdf, which looks like a spacing bug).

\relative c'' {
  \repeat volta 2 { \time 4/4 c4^"cuivre"_\fermata }
  \alternative {
    {
      d-4_\markup { \italic "cantabile" }
    }
    { e }
  }
  \acciaccatura { c16 }
  f4\ff^""^\markup  { \large "Largo" } \mark "B" g s2.
  c,4 d \bar ":|" e \acciaccatura c8 f4 g
}

Neil
