How about allowing bar numbers as a letter+number, parsed similar to musical
note+duration:
B78 a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
B79 e,4 ( f4 ) ( g4 ) a4 |
Perhaps they could also double as bar checks:
B78 a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4
B79 e,4 ( f4 ) ( g4 ) a4
Or alternately, augment the existing bar check to allow an optional value:
a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |78
e,4 ( f4 ) ( g4 ) a4 |79
Or (to taste):
|78 a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4
|79 e,4 ( f4 ) ( g4 ) a4
The actual bar numbers might be ignored initially, but eventually
- they might be the numbers printed
- bar checks might also verify that bar numbers match across staves, voices,
\alternatives.
Having already entered some large pieces, I only recently discovered
Frescobaldi. What a wonderful program. The point-and-click cursor matching
between source and PDF nearly obviates the need for measure numbers. I wish I'd
found it sooner!
Cheers,

I have come to the conclusion that it is a _very_ good idea to make a measure
number for _every_ measure.
That way you have a measure indicator in each Git diff.
Which proves useful to map the change to the location in the file if the line
numbers have changed considerably in the meantime.
