I was thinking about commands like \textLengthOn.  Would there be value 
in providing a more consistent way to handle this use case without 
having to manually do what I did?  It feels a little bit hacky to be 
instantiating transparent BarLines.  I could see an LSR snippet being 
created to demonstrate the technique, but would we want it in the docs?
