You can repeat an 8-bar (say) phrase seamlessly even with pickup since pickup and last measure (usually) add up to one complete bar. Giving both pickup and last measure a number of its own would be detrimental to this kind of reckoning. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
