Hi there Janek! I tried your Scheme and it worked WONDERFULLY! That's exactly what I want for larger bar numbers at the beginning!

I came up with a solution--for now. This solution is best used whenever the piece is completely finished and you can put in this line at the beginning of every line. \version "2.17.29" barNumberLine = \once \override Score.BarNumber.direction =#up \layout{ \context { \Score \override B

Re: Bar numbers under the music rather than above?

That worked, but it moved the bar numbers at the beginnings of lines down, too. Is there a way to apply something to beginning of line numbers? If so, then the normal barlines can be down and, if possible, set to a smaller size, and the ones at the beginnings of lines can be up and normal size.

Re: Bar numbers under the music rather than above?

Also (forgive my double email), would it be possible to format bar numbers? For example, making those that are not at the beginning of lines smaller or larger? This is one thing I've sort of been ignoring but the time has come that I finally ask -.- - Ryan McClure Luna Music Engraving -- Vi
