  1. explanation: attribute 'barset' instead of 'bar' means consecutive data lines are automatically placed on new bar
  2. data lines are lines containing at: or from: & till: attributes
  3. 'barset:break' means 'reset barcounter' = next line will be placed at first bar in barset
  4. 'barset:skip' means 'increment barcounter' = skip one bar for next data line (to allow extra space
  5. for text containing line break = ~)
