The vast majority of scores available have bar numbers at the start of each system. So if you don’t want the trouble of writing bar numbers in each and every score on every single bar by hand, you have to learn counting them. If you are used to have every bar numbered, then you won’t learn counting them at a glance. If you just practice getting along with the convention used practically everywhere, you’ll be able to get really fast at counting bars at a glance, presuming you invest a minimum of time and concentration. I always prefer the latter strategy – don’t dumb it down, get clever instead! Best, Simon ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

This reminds me of an old joke: In rehearsal, the conductor stops the orchestra and says "Let's try it again from bar 5." At the back of the viola section (I told you it was a joke) a tentative hand goes up and a voice calls out "Please, Maestro, these parts haven't got bar numbers." Seriously, would anyone need to have every beat numbered? Surely anybody can find the nth beat in a bar (unless you are using some truly unorthodox time signature like 29/4).

In classical music traditionally you have bar numbers only at the beginning of each line; that’s why #begin-of-line-visible is LilyPond’s default. Film scores often have bar numbers at every measure. IIRC the don’t set a number on the last bar line. So this would be #end-of-line-invisible. Some publishers set bar numbers every now and then (f. e. every 5 or 10 measures in classical music or at significant places every 4 to 20 measures in film scores) but modern editions of classical music don’t do that any more (at least, I haven’t seen such an edition yet). ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

> \override Score.BarNumber.break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible Thanks! That was successful. But I'm still in doubt of what should be the correct way. Is it right to show the last number in the staff, or is it not? IMHO I prefer not to leave the last number visible (and I am going to change all my scores for the little choir where i sing in this way). But, I repeat, what is the correct way?

But it seems strange to me IMHO. It’s strange indeed, but it’s also exactly what you asked for by setting break-visibility to #'#(#t #t #t) or it’s shortcut #all-visible. Try \override Score.BarNumber.break-visibility = #'#(#f #t #t) or the shortcut \override Score.BarNumber.break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible instead. And concerning Kieren’s comment about patches: This is not LilyPond’s mistake. And if you turn off the very last bar number even if bar numbers are set to #all-visible that would be very confusing. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Last number on a score; but this is the first in the next one...
I'm not able to make a truly "minimum example", that's what I could do:
\version "2.18.2"
\header {
}
PartPOneVoiceOne = \relative a' {
\override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#t #t #t)
\clef "treble" \key c \major \numericTimeSignature\time 4/4 a1 | % 2
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 | % 3
b1 | % 4
c1 \bar "|."
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff <<
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Piano"
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "Pno."
\context Staff <<
\context Voice = "PartPOneVoiceOne" { \PartPOneVoiceOne }
>>
>>
>>
\layout {}
}
I would like to know if the "9" at the end of the first bar, and expecially
the "17" at the end of the last bar, are correct or not. I don't have
"Beyond Bars" at hand. But these numbers seems IMHO to me useless.

Hi,
Please include tiny compilable examples with your questions.

e.g.
\version "2.19.43"
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override BarNumber.break-visibility = #'#(#t #t #t)
}
}
{ c'1 1 \bar "|.” }

It does seem a little strange…
> If not, how to correct this behavior?
Well, I’m not sure it’s worth anyone writing a patch, when it’s a fringe case
(most scores don’t have measure numbers every measure), and easy to turn off:
{ c'1 1 \once \omit Score.BarNumber \bar "|." }
Hope this helps,
Kieren.
