Hi Gilberto, the following two possibilities are not exactly what you want. Maybe you can adapt one 1.)------------ You could try to use \startMeasureCount, \stopMeasureCount while consisting "Measure_counter_engraver" in Score-layout. This is quite new functionality, implemented somewhere 2.17.x, pending its documentation. I quote the example from our regtests, 'measure-counter.ly': \version "2.17.25" \relative c' { \startMeasureCount \repeat unfold 5 { a4 b c d } \stopMeasureCount a'4 b c d \override Staff.MeasureCounter.count-from = #2 \startMeasureCount \repeat unfold 4 { a4 b c d } \stopMeasureCount\startMeasureCount \revert Staff.MeasureCounter.count-from \clef bass \key fis \major \time 3/4 \repeat unfold 3 { R2. } \stopMeasureCount } \layout { \context { \Staff \consists #Measure_counter_engraver } } 2.)---------- Maybe the frame-engraver is worth a second look: See here: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/aleatoric-box-frameEngraver-td147962.html (it's not in the source). Thanks to David Nalesnik for both! Cheers, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
