The point here is to allow for Select Similar filtration so that a user can easily span all end barlines but not, for example, the in-between, or similar activities. I haven't checked the code, but theoretically, this shouldn't be that difficult I'd imagine. I wonder if others would find this desirable?

For an example of what was mentioned:

It's one thing to manually do this for one system. To do it for an entire score takes some effort, let alone potentially complicated multi-instrument scores with different situations, but it would be merely two or three operations with begin/end subtypes for barlines with filtration.

I think it seems useful, but I'd also point out this specific use case (which isn't standard at all but for someone it seems some people want to do this) there could just be a style setting.
