Re: How to add the number of repetitions above a bar

[Gilberto Agostinho]

Hi David!

I can't thank you enough for this! It works beautifully :) I already made some tests now and this is exactly what I needed.

Thanks again and take care!

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your answer. About the 1st proposition, it looks great! It is just a pity I was not able (so far) to write anything but pure numbers above the bars. It would be great if I manage to add the "x" after the number.

(See below.)

Hi Gilberto,

the following two possibilities are not exactly what you want. Maybe
you can adapt one


1.)------------
You could try to use \startMeasureCount, \stopMeasureCount while
consisting "Measure_counter_engraver" in Score-layout.
This is quite new functionality, implemented somewhere 2.17.x, pending
its documentation.

There is no write-up yet in the Notation Reference, but there are two snippets in the documentation: "Numbering groups of measures" and "Centered measure numbers."

I went ahead and hacked the stencil for MeasureCounter to show how this might be done.  Of course, the number has no relation to the repeat structure of the music, but it looks OK!

 

}


2.)----------
Maybe the frame-engraver is worth a second look:
See here:

(it's not in the source).



Thanks to David Nalesnik for both!

You're welcome!
