Hi all,
I'm typesetting a Beethoven bagatelle (119/4) where both alternative
measures at the end of a volta are incomplete. If you look at the
attached PNG, you'll see that the measure immediately following the
second alternative is also incomplete (it's the start of the third
system). LilyPond gives this half-measure it's own measure number, as
shown in my attached MWE.
I have two questions:
1. Are there any sources in the notation literature that give a
suggestion on how we should number these measures? Should the
half-measure at the start of the third system get its own measure
number, or should it be a continuation of the previous measure (in
my Lily file, 2b)? My intuition suggests the latter.
Yes, that's most common in printed music, as far as I can recall.
1.
2. Are there cleaner ways of fixing this than my three commented-out
lines?
The recent 2.19.x versions of Lilypond can handle these incomplete
alternatives correctly, without any additional \set Timing.xxx commands.
If you simply remove those commands from your file, the measure
numbering will be more standard, i.e. the continued half bar doesn't get
any extra bar number.
(And a bonus question if anyone knows: why isn't this bagatelle
written starting on beat 1?)
Well, isn't it a kind of Gavotte?

Thanks for any help anyone may offer!
