Hi, I like the change in the bar number alignment. I have some comments to your proposal. (The current solution has similar issues, so most of these are not speaking against proposed changes.)
The -> denotes the solution for which that is an argument. 1. putting the bar number over the measure it belongs just makes sense (-> Gould) 2. The end of a measure is typically less crowded so middle-of-line bar numbers need less vertical shifts for collision avoidance which looks better. The new implementation looks irregular and jumpy (-> current) 3. In particular at the start of a line, the number is moved up by every treble clef, i.e. we have an exception by collision avoidance in the most common case. (-> current or MR) 4. Shifting it further right than left aligned is too much and breaks the visual connection between bar line and bar number (-> not further) 5. Bar numbers on the right margin look odd. They should definitely be right aligned in that position (if the user turns them on at all) Therefore, I would center-align it like your MR does for begin-of-line and middle-of-line positions, but not at the end of a line. Cheers, Joram
