Re: Measure numbers in ChoirStaff context

[Mats Bengtsson]

I agree that it would be a neat feature, but it's not that simple to
do it right. For example, it's common in orchestral scores to join
the string parts together with a bracket but this bracket will only
collide with the bar numbers if it appears at the top of the score
(i.e. you don't have any wind parts). Also, from a technical point,
it's not as easy as just adding a property setting in the definition
of the ChoirStaff since the setting has to be done on the score level.

I leave it to Jan and Han-Wen to ponder about a good implementation
of the feature. In the mean time, I hope you have found out from the
mailing list archives how to move the bar numbers by setting the
padding property.
