Hi Graham, > I've just realised that, under my system as I described it, a part could have > the same bar number twice.
My proposed solution would be an “analytic continuation” (to borrow a mathematical term) of the non-polymetric measure numbering scheme: 1. A “reference context” would be established (in the case of “The Country Wife", the PianoStaff), and the base measure numbers would be generated in that context; 2. All other contexts would use the base-context measure number when and only when the barlines align; otherwise, each context would use (e.g.) 38A, 38B, … to indicate measures which begin within the moment encompassed by the reference measure. I think such a system would be >95% sufficient. Thoughts?
