Mats: "Have you tried to add the engraver to the \GrandStaffContext
(or whatever you use) instead?"
In this case, experience was my *worst* teacher! I remembered when
bar numbering at score level was turned on by one method, and
numbering at the staff level had to be turned on by including the
engraver, so tried just about everything else but. It's even in the
current refman... One problem solved - thanks.
"As you could guess, the manuscript doesn't contain any score, just
individual parts."
Reminds me of when I played second fiddle in parks orchestras in the
40's. Our music was all handwritten from the Depression union library
(hand-written copies could be made of any copyrighted material then
in the US, and Canada had the same union). The copyists were paid by
the bar of playable music, and every shortcut they could think of was
used - repeat bars with a 6-1/2 over them and the closing twiddle of
the 8-bar rhythm right after, 3-4 levels of dal signos... It was
routine for the 2nd fiddle part to take half a page, and the trumpet
part 5. There were no scores for anything given that pay scale, so
conductors grabbed one of the solo parts for anything they didn't
know by heart already.
You know, I just looked - doesn't Lily have a repeat-bar symbol?!
(The usual form was a ./., shaped more like a % sign, with a number
over it if more than 1.) No Urtext from the 40's for her :)
