Yes, I had read that numerous times; it didn't imply to me that I needed both \bar ".|" and |. Maybe it needs an example.

As long as \bar "empty" is a possible value of bar, I can't think of a case either. That is, I can think of a case where you would want to restart the bar count without putting a visible bar (although that's not the case for my incipits), but not of one where you wouldn't want there to be a bar at all.

I would certainly think there should be some combination of options where \bar "whatever" resets the bar count. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
