Re: feature req: volta bar numbering options

[Dan Eble]

Please elaborate on unfolded bar numbering.  Would that mean that each  
bar within a repeated section would have more than one measure number  
assigned to it (one per volta)?  I'd use that feature, but where you  
would fit the bar numbers?  Maybe one above the staff, one below, and  
then what?
