Re: Bar counts and repeats in repetitive music

[Jeffery Shivers]

Could you provide a MWE? Without any knowledge of how your project is
setup, we have to guess how exactly to help you.

Regarding automating measure numbers, you could write a scheme
function to calculate the next bar number following repeats, I think
using (ly:context <context> 'measurePosition) and then factoring in
the number of times something is repeated.

If I understand correctly, you want the piano part to look different
(optimized) in its own document as opposed to how it will look in the
less-optimized score. I'm attaching a (not very elegant) suggestion of
how you might begin to automate things there as well (rewired etc. to
suit your setup). HTH
