Re: Bar numbers every nth bar *and* at beginning of line

Hi Kieren,

Now that's a weird one. I was expecting a stack of 3 bar numbers, not 4… :O Thanks for sharing that, definitely useful to know.

Kind regards,

sb

Hi Jean,

See output of:

\version "2.23.4"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \consists Bar_number_engraver
  }
  \context {
    \StaffGroup
    \consists Bar_number_engraver
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    \consists Bar_number_engraver
  }
}

\score {
  {
    \new StaffGroup <<
      \new Staff { c'1 \break c'1 }
    >>
  }
}

Now I know you’ll say “Well then don’t do that…” ;)

But the point is these custom contexts might be defined in different parts of different include files — usually used separately — and then “accidentally” used together. Short of a time-consuming stylesheet/includefile rewriting, I simply have to kick myself and \remove the engraver from all but one context in order to get the score(s) out the door ASAP.

Cheers
Kieren
