Re: bar count not displayed after partial measure followed by forced line break

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi Brian;

  Thank you for your patience with me.

  I found the 2.23.6-1 doc tarball, downloaded it and made a web
browser bookmark to it just like I did for 2.22.1 docs.

  I then carefully read section 1.2.5, looking for my situation.

  Since I am printing bar numbers in the default manner, the first
measure of each line (except for the very first measure) is given a
bar number.

  So I now understand that it might seem weird for a partial measure
to get a bar number; and that it should be parenthesized in order to
be sure that it was specifically intended.

  I am now about to attempt implementing the snippet provided into my engraving.

Thank you,
Ken
