Re: measure numbers and line breaks

[David Raleigh Arnold]

When numbering measures at the beginning of a line, if there be a line
break in the middle of the measure, the number should be that of the
*following* measure, not the current measure which is broken.  I should
have pointed that out.

That's because it is not possible to number measures, because a measure
is not an artifact.  You have to number bars, and the bar that you
number has to be the first one that you have in that line, hence the
following measure.  That is why the first measure counted at the
beginning is always the first complete measure.  That may not be very
intuitive, but that's the way it has to be.  Does that have something to
do with the bug being so persistent?  daveA

never never defend one tyrant against another, because The worst thing
that can happen is you might win.  The *Gulf* war was worse than Nam.
