How to add the number of repetitions above a bar
Hello everyone, I am working with a score in Lilypond that has a lot of repetitions, where basically every bar has to be repeated a certain number of times. I would like to be able to write the number of repeats above every bar, similar to the score below (which was not created in Lilypond): http://i.stack.imgur.com/GLzuk.jpg It would be great to be able to have some brackets above the bar and also to have the 3x centralized, just like in the example above. So far, the only (temporary) solution I was able to come up with in Lilypond was to add repeat bars and then simply write 3x above the first note of every bar (since I could not have it centralized on the bar either). It does not look very good, but gets the job done. This temporary solution looks like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/jcCh2.jpg Do you have any suggestions of how to make this last example look more similar to the first in Lilypond? Thanks a lot!

Take care, Gilberto Off hand, I would suggest looking up analysis brackets in the Notation Reference. I don't recall at the moment how those work with text, but it will get you something approaching the brackets you're looking for.

Re: How to add the number of repetitions above a bar
Hi Carl, I had a look on those, and I was able to get the brackets, but they didn't look very nice because they were extending from a note to a note, not fro ma bar line to a bar line. On top of that, the main issue for me here is to have the 3x centralized above the bar; the brackets will just make it look prettier :) Nevertheless, I will check again the analysis brackets and see if I missed something out.

Hi Gilberto,
the following two possibilities are not exactly what you want. Maybe
you can adapt one
1.)
You could try to use \startMeasureCount, \stopMeasureCount while
consisting Measure_counter_engraver in Score-layout.
This is quite new functionality, implemented somewhere 2.17.x, pending
its documentation.
I quote the example from our regtests, 'measure-counter.ly':
\version 2.17.25
\relative c' {
\startMeasureCount
\repeat unfold 5 {
a4 b c d
}
\stopMeasureCount
a'4 b c d
\override Staff.MeasureCounter.count-from = #2
\startMeasureCount
\repeat unfold 4 {
a4 b c d
}
\stopMeasureCount\startMeasureCount
\revert Staff.MeasureCounter.count-from
\clef bass
\key fis \major
\time 3/4
\repeat unfold 3 {
R2.
}
\stopMeasureCount
}
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\consists #Measure_counter_engraver
}
}
2.)--
Maybe the frame-engraver is worth a second look:
See here:

(it's not in the source).
Thanks to David Nalesnik for both!

Re: How to add the number of repetitions above a bar
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

Hi David! I can't thank you enough for this! It works beautifully :) I already made some tests now and this is exactly what I needed. Thanks again and take care!

Aside from the fact that the number doesn't really denote repeats (which would only be an issue with playback, I suppose): (1) I didn't deal with the situation of a bar broken across a line; (2) This will only work with single-bar repeats. Limitation (1) really wouldn't be much of a problem. Number (2), on the other hand, would involve changes to the engraver itself. (The code for it is in scm/scheme-engravers.scm.) I don't think this would be particularly complex. If you need this kind of functionality, just let me know!
