Writing to lilypond-user, I got no reply, thus I'm sending it again to lilypond-devel.
Werner ====================================================================== The following problem: \score { \relative { c1 | c1 | c1 | c1 | % Bars 1-4 } \score { \relative { c1 | c1 | c1 | c1 | % Bars 5-8 } I know how to manually set `currentBarNumber' in the second \score block: \set Score.currentBarNumber = #5 However, I want to have this set automatically; for example, if I later decide to insert two bars into the first \score block, the starting bar number for the second \score block should be updated accordingly. It's rather straightforward to store the value of `currentBarNumber' in a Scheme variable (the number `10' is just a dummy value): #(define lastBarNumber 10) \score { \relative { c1 | d1 | e1 | f1 | \applyContext #(lambda (x) (set! lastBarNumber (ly:context-property x 'currentBarNumber))) } However, I wasn't able to make lilypond use the computed value. I tried both `\set' and `\applyContext' (using `ly:context-set-property!') without success. Please advise.
