Comment #6 on issue 2445 by [email protected]: Center a number above a
measure
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2445
@Colin: I've gotten lilydev up and running, and I'm now trying to figure
out what files I'd need to modify to post this engraver as a patch. Thanks
for offering to help--I will undoubtedly take you up on that!
In the meantime, I've improved it somewhat. The numbers are now
accommodated in the vertical spacing. There is some issue of numbers not
getting bumped up at times and nestling in too close, but collisions are
avoided. (The last two measures of the example show this nestling, and how
forcing the accidental bumps the number out of the way.)
You can adjust the height by overriding 'outside-staff-padding. Also, you
can have independent simultaneous counters on different staves of a system.
It would be great if anyone interested could try this out and see if there
are any issues with it, ways which I could improve it.
