Is Lilypond-devel not appropriate for a feature request?
In this case: no, it's not the right mailing list, because the
original question isn't a feature request at all IMHO.
In most cases you can write a small Scheme function that does exactly
what you want, acting as a wrapper around existing LilyPond
functionality. For this reason you should always start asking a
question on 'lilypond-user' – the necessary Scheme code could then be
added to the LilyPond Wiki so that other people with similar demands
can quickly access a solution.
Thanks, Werner, for explaining what I meant by switching the mailing list.
As for the original question: Having numbers-with-letters in uppercase
is comparatively easy, this is just a transformation of the BarNumber
markup. Try:
\override Score.BarNumber.stencil =
#(lambda (grob)
(grob-interpret-markup
grob
(make-with-string-transformer-markup
(lambda (layout props str) (string-upcase str))
(ly:grob-property grob 'text))))
in your \layout { ... } block.
The other request (containing letters A, B, C ...) is not yet clear to
me - Paul, can you give an example?
