Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your answer. About the 1st proposition, it looks great! It is
just a pity I was not able (so far) to write anything but pure numbers
above the bars. It would be great if I manage to add the "x" after the
number. About the 2nd proposition, those discussions in that link are way
above my level at Lilypond, I really could not understand much of what was
going on :(

I am experimenting now with analysis brackets plus the centralized bar
numbers, let's see how they work together.

Thanks a lot for all the help!
Gilberto
