Thanks again for the example you gave for overlaying the bar and tempo
settings.
Now I dream up another application: For orchestral parts with long
multi-bar rests, it is often difficult for the player to count exactly when
the rests end. So would it be possible to include a small section of the
main melody immediate before the instrument resumes as small notes in an
overlay part to hint the player? This is often done in commercial scores
and in this way, these small notes will not get into the way of the
conductor's score.
Or are there better ways to achieve this purpose? In either way, would you
please give us a small example illustrating this function? I am only an
novice typesetter.
