With code below as reference, please help me with:
1. Vertical alignment/positioning of bar numbers. In the output
the parenthetical bar number for the anacrusis is higher than the
remaining bar numbers.
a. How can I lower it, and how can I raise the others? Are
there commands that would automatically ensure that all are at the
same vertical position?
b. Not as important: is there a way to raise/lower any given
bar number independently?
2. Full control over horizontal alignment of bar numbers. I
(think I) want the bar number for the anacrusis to appear just
right of the clef. I found commands that change the object its
aligned to, but none of those positions were satisfactory. How can
move it horizontally exactly where I want it? Not as important: Is
the procedure different for other individual bar numbers?
3. Changing bar number text. Can I change the text for the anacrusis bar number to something other than "(1)"? Like "0" or "pickup"? Not as important: Is that also possible for any arbitrary bar number?
I can't find instructions on how to include or post example
output so I've taken a chance and embedded an image of the output
below after the code.
Thank you,
Steve Cummings

% please note that this example "omits" the SystemStartBar, in
case part of the solution to #2 involves choosing an object to
which to align the bar number to.
