Cadenza question

2006-05-12 Thread Rick Hogg
How do I get my cadenzas to maintain bar numbers?  LilyPond halts numbering bars until after I turn off the cadenza, and I don't want that.  Example:bar 55 | cadenza | bar 56I want:bar 55 | (bar 56 cadenza) | bar 57Thanks in advance! How low will we go? Check out Yahoo! Messenger’s low PC-to-Pho
