Bar numbers are printed by default at the start of the line. The
number itself is stored in the
currentBarNumber
property,
which is normally updated automatically for every measure.
Bar numbers can be typeset at regular intervals instead of at the beginning of each line. This is illustrated in the following example, whose source is available as input/test/bar-number-regular-interval.ly
Program reference: BarNumber.
Examples: input/test/bar-number-every-five-reset.ly, and input/test/bar-number-regular-interval.ly.
Bar numbers can collide with the StaffGroup bracket, if
there is one at the top. To solve this, the
padding
property of BarNumber can be
used to position the number correctly.
