Dear Aaron,
I found a solution. : trick the "hideEveryOtherBarLine" mechanism so it
believes the bar number where the extra "|." bar is located is odd.
a2. |
b2 \fermata _"Fine" \set Score.currentBarNumber = #55 \bar "|." r4
\set Score.currentBarNumber = #55 |
a2 b4 |
%%
Without the double change of bar numbers the "|." bar is made transparent
by \hideEveryOtherBarLine .
Thanks a lot again :-)
Philippe
