Thanks. That's some advanced stuff, there. Hopefully it'll be incorporated soon into lilypond itself. To ensure horizontal alignment throughout, I used the second option. After including the scheme, I used: \layout { \context { \Global \grobdescriptions #my-grob-descriptions #my-event-classes } \context{ \RhythmicStaff \consists \measureCounterEngraver \remove "Time_signature_engraver" \remove "Clef_engraver" \override BarLine #'transparent = ##t \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #0 } } and also \new RhythmicStaff = "MeasureNumbers" { \override Staff.MeasureCounter #'font-encoding = #'fetaText \override Staff.MeasureCounter #'font-size = #+4 \measureCounterStart s2.*42 \measureCounterEnd } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
