Can anyone figure out how to keep PMX's default bar numbering in the
line-shortening example. Here's a slightly modified version that shows the
problem more clearly. Notice that the bar numbers return after the shortened
line, although the number needs to be corrected.

With great thanks to Bob, Andre, and Olivier, I've figured out how to get a
shorter line in a much more satisfying way than drawing a white box to
create a blank. Of course if my example below went further on, I'd need to
restore the definition of \alaligne. And other changes would be needed for a
mid-line blank. Now that I understand these techniques better I'll think
about incorporating them directly into PMX, where in response to new PMX
commands I could do it directly (like in Bob's example) rather than
redefining \alaligne.
