Hi Wol,

According to 99% of Western musical notation, that's the point at which the
note begins.

But not every note has a barline associated with the same moment [in time]…
How/where do you play those notes? Do all notes in a measure get played at
exactly the same time, right where the [leading] barline is?

From my experience, that's restricted to the band world. In the string world,
it's often the opposite: players play notes longer than their written duration.

The only composers I know of who did that as a rule are late 19th Century and
early 20th Century British composers (my experience in that area being mostly
choral). I must admit, it's quite confusing when you first encounter that
notation!
Cheers,
