scm_number_to_string () . Since it's a Guile error, you don't get
line number info.
I couldn't really say what's wrong without seeing the full file, since
it works fine in minimal examples.
After commenting out various bits of the file, I have come to the conclusion that the error was generated by \set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-box-barnumbers . Removing this line removed the error.

I wouldn't move the Timing_translator unless you really need to (i.e.,
for polymetric notation). Why can't you set currentBarNumber at the
Score level while moving the Bar_number_engraver?

This relates to my earlier question about using repeats to make page turns possible. (I didn't realize the bar numbers weren't incrementing properly until doing a last check through the notation.) I have one set of bar numbers above the staff that refers to the first time through a repeat, and one set below the staff that refers to the second.
After moving the Bar_number_engraver, the Timing_translator, and the Default_bar_line_engraver to the Staff context, everything seems to be working correctly except for the repeat. The bracket for the first alternate disappears after the final line break, and there is no repeat sign printed. (The attached example demonstrates the problem.) Moving the Volta_engraver has no effect on the output. Is there another repeat engraver that I'm missing somewhere?
