What if, in that case, there was an option to display as "1, 2, 3 ... 15" or "1, 2, 3 - 15" or something like that (using arbitrary numbers there of course). I suggest this as an *option* because there may be some cases where you want to display all five, six or more bar numbers without ellipsis. > Also, should the > bar numbers be on the first bar of the repeated section (probably a good > default), and if not, how does one specify which bar to number?

This is either a matter of scheming up a new engraver or using markup. The latter will at least take less time, so I will see if I can come up with a convincing approach that way first. > Best regards, > > Peter > mailto:[email protected] > www.ptoye.com -- Jeffery Shivers jefferyshivers.com soundcloud.com/jefferyshivers _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
