Comment #5 on issue 146 by lemzwerg: bar counters for normal bars
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=146
It's simply not implemented yet. Someone has to add a RepeatCounter
grob (in analogy to PercentRepeatCounter).
I'm struggling to understand the difference between what's requested in
146 and what is delivered with the current LilyPond implementation of
bar/measure numbers.
Hi, Phil,
see e.g. <http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=651>. Which is sort of a
really, really nasty workaround to implement them; I have a vague idea
about making it only singly-really nasty, and adopting it for better
spacing, but I won't deal with it before 2.14. is there. Even then, it'll
be far from an easy-to-use solution.
The bar counters are stand-alone staff-like thingies which can be printed
at an arbitrary position of the score (above, below, or even in between
for large scores). The bar numbers should be centered between bar lines,
and typically the font much more "present" or dominant than for measure
numbers. I think they are primarily intended for conductor's scores.
(Note this is what I feel bar counters should look like, and it's similar
to what Werner implemented in the much simpler
<http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=473>. For a proper enhancement, we
should have a look in some notation guidebook.)
Thanks for the explanation - that has clarified it for me. I think we can
summarise by saying that a bar counter is the same as a bar number, but in a
different place - above the relevant measure, rather than above the bar
line.
