I think if we were typesetting for 16th century musicians, it would be. However, I get complaints when a line break occurs within a bar. The facsimiles do this all the time (even in the 17th and eighteenth centuries, when they were printing bar lines almost as often as we do), but when I do it, the players complain. So if you have some way to say "remove the Bar Engraver, but have the line breaker still keep some kind of count of where in the time signature it is", I'll try it. I don't know whether the relationship between the Bar Engraver and the line breaker would allow this at all. -- Laura (mailto:lcon...@laymusic.org, twitter: @serpentplayer) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 http://www.laymusic.org/ http://www.serpentpublications.org A traveling horn virtuoso, Barry Tuckwell, was once asked about the problem of how to practice while traveling and living in hotels. He replied that he just turned up the TV and practiced because no one minded the TV being loud! quoted by RC Walsh on recor...@yahoogroups.com _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
