Hi,
playing around with some code to answer a request about setting
BarNumber for the first measure at the German lilypond forum
http://www.lilypondforum.de/index.php?topic=1529.0
I've found:
\version "2.17.24"
\layout {
\context {
\Score
currentBarNumber = #10
}
}
\new Staff
\relative c' { \bar "" \repeat unfold 10 { c'1 \break } }
My naive expectation was that _every_ BarNumber would get value 10.
Though, it works.
Is this a recommended use?
If yes should it be mentioned somewhere in the docs?
It is mentioned in NR-1.2.5 Bars (unnumbered "Bar numbers").
Very useful with vocal materials where, for instance, the count is reset
on an act basis.
What I usually do is setting the counter in a global variable,
like this:
%% Act I - 6 military symphony
global = {
\time 3/4
\key c \major
\set Score.currentBarNumber = #210
\skip 2. * 35 \bar "||"
}
Cheers,
Jean-Charles
