If I'm playing/singing from a copy with unfolded repeats, and we want to start at measure 42, somewhere in the middle of your 2nd-time repeat, you wouldn't find any number close to 42 in your copy without this or a similar notation. I'd consider it mainstream. Turn to the opening of Sussex Carol in 100 Carols for Choirs (OUP) for an example that countless people will have on their shelves. Cheers, David.
Re: Displaying bar numbers for repeats
I suppose there is a way to do this but the concept is strange. I have never seen any edition do this. Why? Speaking as an organist if I came across this I would have to spend time working out what in earth the bracketed number means. What does it add to the score in any practical sense? Andrew
Displaying bar numbers for repeats
Hello: I looked at the Lilypond documentation and snippet library but did not find an answer to the question that I am asking in this message. I am typesetting my personal performer's edition of Bach's Schmüke Dich (BWV 654). The first 34 measures are repeated with an alternate ending. (I am using a two-volta repeat.) For only the repeated first section, is there a mechanism for displaying the bar number for volta 1 followed by the bar number for volta 2 in parentheses? For example, measure 7 of the volta 1 is measure 41 of volta 2. In this situation, I would like the bar number to appear as: 7 (41) I am attaching a PNG image showing what I would like to do. I am currently displaying bar numbers at the beginning of ever line except the first. If this topic is covered in the snippets or Lilypond mail archive and I missed it, please refer me to the appropriate section. Thanks for any help that anyone is willing to provide. Joe Srednicki

Barre grob - appearance
Hi all, being a professional guitarist I always missed a possibility to use a barré-sign which fits all needs. Ofcourse, one can find several codings here on the list, in LSR, I have some own as well. All are (ab)using spanners like TextSpanner or hijacking other grobs like Arpeggio. Though, we don't have a barre-grob. Well, I thought I could begin to implement such a barre-grob. To do so and to fullfill the claimed "fits all needs" one should follow some basic steps, imho. (1) Appearance (2) Requirements (3) Coding Ad (1) In printed editions several different barre-signs are in use. Attached you'll find all kinds of barre-signs I'm aware of (rebuilt with LilyPond, don't ask for the code, it's all pure manual). For now I only like to ask if there are other appearances of barre-signs. It would be great if you could post an image, if you find are barre sign not covered by the attached pdf!

Re: LilyPond 2.23.12
Hi Jonas, Am 24.08.2022 um 18:00 schrieb lilypond-user-requ...@gnu.org: Starting with this version, the official binaries support the experimental Cairo backend. Please give it a try with the command line option -dbackend=cairo and see if it works for you. In case of problems, please report back to us so it can be worked on. These are really good news! SVG images are required for OOoLilyPond (LilyPond extension for LibreOffice) to insert musical snippets into office documents without quality loss. At the moment, this is only possible by either using the SVG backend (drawback: no lilypond-book-preamble) or by calling an additional program to convert PDF to SVG. The new cairo backend could be the ultimate solution to all that. Thanks a million to everyone who has worked on that feature! Cheers, Klaus
Re: Export to XML
I thought the musicxml export is only experimental/preliminary. How developed is it exactly? The OP seems to have tuned and tweaked his engraving extensively for the best appearance (OP to confirm...). Is this tool capable of capturing all such fine tweaks? Or is this beyond MusicXML anyway? In your workflow, why the double export? if the result is fine from Lilypond why then export from MuseScore? Musescore simply refuses to install or uninstall earlier version on my Windows 11 Insider Preview, FWIW. Just mentioning (not very happy about that!)
