Re: Advice on bar numbers

Thanks I can see that would work in rehearsals. 

Working up a drum line is easier if each bar gets a number sequentially. But writing up the drum sequence is only required once. (Usually) So I do not think writing up a fully expanded manuscript for that is worth it. I found penciling in each repeat bar number worked last time. Then just plug steps into the drum sequencer. I may try the fully expanded manuscript yet.

Thanks for your advice.

Regards

Graham

Gould suggests either using a and b suffixes or continuing the numbers
through the repeats, so there are no duplicated numbers.  She points out
this makes identifying specific bars simpler in rehearsal.
