Re: Measure Number Collision

[Marc Shepherd]

Kieren's example does indeed work with LP 2.21.2. However, the distribution for 2.21.2 seems to "break" a number of other functions; for instance, \fermataMarkup no longer works.

Anyhow, I am still in the market for a better way to do this, but for the time being will just turn off bar numbers selectively whenever a rehearsal mark appears at the start of a system.

I did a search of the archives, and I see this has been a much discussed topic over the years!

Hi Marc,

It may.

IIRC, there is a way to avoid that… it involves keep-alive-together, etc. I just haven’t had time (or need, recently) to research it myself. No doubt someone else can help you with it!

Cheers,
Kieren.
