Hello everyone,
Still typesetting that Bach Lute Suite, I'm running into a couple of
bar numbering problems when compiling an output file that contains
more than one movement.
Here's what's happening:
First problem:
=============
I specify \nobarnumbers\systemnumbers. This does what I expect when
the MusixTeX source is a single file -- it writes bar numbers at the
start of every line EXCEPT the first one.
To put the suite together, however, I have the music coding for each
movement in a separate "master" file, and all the individual files are
called from this file by means of an \input statement. The bar
numbering commands are at the start of this master file rather than in
the separate files containing the movements.
In this situation, I'm getting bar numbers at the start of the first
line of each movement as well. And this looks pretty silly when the
first "bar" is number "zero" because it's an anacrusis...
Second problem:
==============
When a \leftrightrepeat occurs in the middle of a bar -- again because
of an anacrusis -- I adjust for correct bar numbering by means of
\advance\barno-1. So far, so good -- except when the repeat falls at a
line break. When this happens, MusixTeX writes the bar number of the
partial bar at the start of the line. This, again, looks a bit silly
when the anacrusis is just a single demisemiquaver followed by a bar
that takes up a third of the line.
Is there any way -- preferably a relatively easy one, as my
TeX-pertise is severely limited -- to get rid of the system number in
first lines and at anacrusis bars? Or do I just have to live with
them?
Thanks in advance for any and all help
Eva
