Jeffery, I'm trying to get my head around the code you sent me - it seems that real programmers (you and David both) don't write comments :) Displaying multiple bar numbers needs a bit more thought. Firstly, it has to be switchable off. One of my examples has a single bar repeated 16 times - I

Hello list, This is my first post here and I’m fairly new to Lilypond, but I need some help. I am using Lilypond to compose, and I need to merge 4 scores into one. All four scores have the same 6 instruments and time signature (4/4), and all rhythms fall into the same grid of 16th notes.

I think it's rather weird that you write `c'4\ff d'` instead of `\ff c'4 d'`. Other constructs such as `\tempo` and `\mark` are before the notes they affect - why aren't dynamics? For a more practical example, playing the same thing multiple times with different dynamics with prefix dynamics
