Jeffery, I'm trying to get my head around the code you sent me - it seems that real programmers (you and David both) don't write comments :) Displaying multiple bar numbers needs a bit more thought. Firstly, it has to be switchable off. One of my examples has a single bar repeated 16 times - I

Jeffery, Thanks. There's a lot to look at here, as I'm not (yet?) a Scheme/Guile programmer! But as you hint it doesn't seem to work, though. The bar number check works, but the printed bar numbers are still sequential, which I don't understand. But it's also essential that the performer is

Bar counts and repeats in repetitive music

2017-02-07 Thread Peter Toye
I'm trying to engrave a highly repetitive piano part using repeats as much as possible to save page-turns, but I need to display the bar numbers as if the repeats were written out (other parts don't repeat). It seems to me that this raises three issues, to none of which have I found a solution
