No idea about that. I think "Finale does x" is worse in that respect. At any rate, I find picture 1 fine, and the following pictures ugh. Not ambiguous, but awkward. If I were not allowed as an engraver to place the bar numbers to the left outside of the general inking area, I'd probably move them to the right of the clef. Which is still awful, but less so. At any rate, reason enough to _omit_ the clef modifier altogether. Or refuse typesetting for treble recorder. Some people would consider you a hero for that. At any rate, you'll probably be hard put to find treble recorder notes with "correct" clef, and the traditional bar number placement might be part of the reason. > Indeed, when done properly this style of numbering shouldn't be > confused with clef transposition.

But "stay within inking box" is important enough that we should at least have some standard command for that. Do we? -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
