what is typographically correct for us-english, brit-english: 1) No 1 (bars 22-23) with hyphen (Alt 045) or 2) No 1 (bars 2223) with dash, 'Gedankenstrich' (Alt 0150) with or without blank spaces around the dash?
You didn't ask this, but for what it is worth, when doing academic writing about music, some institutions insist on referring to bars as measures. (Bars are the lines, not the contents, although I think that is debatable.)
Furthermore, the abbreviation for one measure is m., as in m. 22. Two or more measures get the mm. treatment (i.e. mm. 22, 23 or mm. 22-23).
I thought that if you were concerned about the right kind of dashes, you might also want to consider this other bit of fussiness. Fortunately for me, this list happily accepts anything a person wants to call it.
