I compiled the attachment you posted (Morning Wings (snippet2).ly) and got an eight measure score with each measure numbered (once). Perhaps you hadn't commented out the first half-dozen lines under \score when you compiled it, viz: % Move measure numbering to layout section % \context PianoStaff \with { % \consists "Bar_number_engraver" % barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 1) % \override BarNumber.break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible % } Cheers, David.
