Re: one bar number per system

[Dan Eble]

Thanks for your replies.

\bar allows a break, but does not force it.  Ideally, I would like a  
bar number printed only after a break.

If memory serves, the all-visible override didn't work in mid-measure  
for the upcoming full-measure bar line.  (I do not have the time right  
now to override the next full-measure bar line by hand in 250 scores.)

I have pieced together an experimental solution to build a hash of  
manually specified measure numbers, which is used by a custom  
barNumberVisibility function.  It doesn't yet work for my multi-score  
book, because I based it on the table of contents implementation, so  
the list is global.  I suppose I need to store the list of visible bar  
numbers in the Score context instead.  Is that right?

This will give me a bar number wherever I specify it, whether it is  
the first one after a break or not.  It would be functional, but not  
exactly what I want.
