It may not be pertinent to this particular discussion, but there's another kind of "real" polymetric music : where there is a regular alternation between different times (e.g., 3/8 - 7/8, or maybe even 5/8 - 3/4 ; in Hindustani classical music, there's an 11 beat tal that's counted 2 2 2 2 1.5 1.5).

Or would you like it as a snippet? There are two kinds of polymetric music AFAIK: "real" polymetric pieces, where the timeSignature are always different between parts, and "false" polymetric pieces, where such a method is just used temporarily, as a special effect, for a more or less short section. As Mats pointed out, adding bar numbers in a polymetric piece of the first kind would be somehow pointless. In a piece of the second kind, you may use a function such as: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=333 However, if have a snippet to propose to make this whole thing more self-explanatory, it could be great :) Cheers, Valentin ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 17:35:50 +0100 From: Mats Bengtsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Smarter cross-staff Beam 'positions?

That sounds like en excellent example of when you want to use positions, right? /Mats ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 11:58:34 -0500 From: Eliot Handelman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Analysis brackets don't work with spaces To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi, The following code generates the markups but not the brackets.
