When non-standard spacing is used on a chart, there is often blank space remaining at the end of a system (line). Also, some blank space often precedes a 2nd ending volta enclosed by single bar-lines.
The player is (properly) programmed to ignore this blank space rather than continue a previous chord just because the space falls within some bar-lines, mid-chart.

Note: 3/4 time works just fine when bars have 4 spaces instead of 3. But, that's also counter intuitive.

I've learned that computers aren’t intuitive. I’m comfortable using bar-repeat signs and slashes as necessary.
