Re: how to get half-bar used in Bach Music?

[jakob lund]

Ok here's another ugly hack:

<example>

#(define __x 1)

{
\override Staff . BarLine #'bar-size = #(lambda (G) (set! __x (1+
__x)) (+ 2 (* 2 (modulo __x 2))))

\relative c'' { c1 c c c c }
}

</example>

It's ugly because it uses a `global' variable __x to count the bars
and set the bar size to 2 only after an odd number of bars. It screws
up if you try to use it with more staffs.

If someone who knows the inner workings of scheme in Lilypond reads
this, I would like to know
 how to properly access the current bar number in the callback!???


Jakob.
