Hi Timothy, Just done a bit more poking around. According to Internals, all-bar-numbers-visible shows all bar numbers including the first one, but it doesn't seem to as the first bar number isn't printed (not that I want it). I also tried first-bar-number-invisible but that gave the same effect (which I'd have expected). Odd.

I had something similar in a piece with 4/4 + 3/4 time with a dotted barline. I ended up just manually renumbering the bars numbers with: \set Score.currentBarNumber Probably not the solution you're looking for.

The mid-bar line with a \break does not show the bar number at the beginning of the next line - I would expect '2'. A \break at the end of a bar gives the expected result. Also, the commented out line doesn't compile, and I can't see why, so can't see if it would make a difference. I cut-and-pasted the vector from the manual, but that's what the complier seems to be complaining about.
