How about allowing bar numbers as a letter+number, parsed similar to musical note+duration: B78 a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 | B79 e,4 ( f4 ) ( g4 ) a4 | Perhaps they could also double as bar checks: B78 a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 B79 e,4 ( f4 ) ( g4 ) a4 Or alternately, augment

Here's something like that, but using \postscript instead of \path. I can't get \path at the right origin. It seems to ignore an initial moveto. Even \postscript seems to set the origin differently depending on which note the markup goes on (hence two versions of the markup below). Cheers,

I often resolve squished ties like that by flipping the tie; e.g., using *fis^~* to force the tie on top, or *fis_~* to force it to the bottom. (In this case, it looks good on top, but this doesn't help if you really want it on the bottom.) Regards, Curt On 2/11/24 09:30, George wrote: bar 78

Have you actually tried this? LilyPond appends ".pdf" to the output filename (and ".midi"). If you try to make the fifo ending in ".pdf", you find lilypond removes the fifo before writing a new file. For the same reasons, the output file cannot be /dev/stdout. Maybe you could write something
