When using the 4-line staff, the short barline appears identical to the regular barline. From examining the literature, it seems the short barline should span two spaces instead of three.

It turns out that we always draw a normal barline on any staff with fewer than five staff lines. This was a change we made some years ago to try to ensure a good appearance on percussion grids, but it’s probably a bit overzealous. I’ve made a note of this and we’ll take a look at it again in due course.
