So it could be reasonable to give an error when the number of
beats/bar is exceeded (when not in a cadenza). I would guess the
present bar line logic already presents the condition where the error
message could be added. I have generated many pages of music without
this feature using | when I need it but I can imagine it might help
some users.
What's wrong with adding a | every so often to your code?
That's exactly what I do. It would still seem that the wrong number
of beats/bar should be an error. OTOH Orm is suggesting that there
are valid exceptions.
I'm totally confused now. If you add a | to every bar, lilypond will
tell you if you have the wrong number of beats/bar. Other than Orm's
suggestion, are you suggesting that lilypond should do | checks
automatically? I disagree; users can add | if they want, and if they
don't want it, they can save processing time.
If you're not talking about automatic | checks, then...?
