it seems that the only available style is 'bar-line. But you can
override the stencil.
Some remarks:
(1)
I used an idea of David Nalesnik.

Thanks again!!
You're welcome!
(2)
In `factors' of `make-dashed-system-start-bar' there is a hardcoded
value, that I figured out manually: 0.983
I wasn't able to express this through a variable.
Any hint?
Hmmm.... I can't follow all the intricacies of the calculations, but it seems to me that there is always one too many dashes, and this is why the dashed line you build up extends beyond the cap you put at the top (nice idea, BTW, to guarantee this way that there will be a segment at top and bottom!) If you replace
(iota (* 2 num))
in the definition of factors with
(iota (* 2 (1- num)))
does this do what you want?
HTH,
