As I say, I was intrigued enough to fire up Musescore and check, and it
was getting it right. By default it puts numbers at the start of lines,
so you have to put in enough bars for two lines and count up to make
sure. So I made a big right margin to make quite sure I was counting
rightly. There are a lot of poor quality computer typesets out there
that get all sorts of things wrong, but we can't blame Musescore for
this I think.
