    Oh, thanks for the correction.
    
    It doesn't look difficult to add a context property to deactivate bar 
number checks.  Would that be the ideal solution?

I don't know the answer to this question.  I'm not familiar enough with the 
mechanics of bar number checking to know how and when the bar number checks 
occur.

From the user point of view, the ideal solution would be that if a score that 
includes bar number checks was handled by  a midi block , the bar number checks 
would be ignored.  

If that behavior could happen by means of a context property 
ignoreBarNumberChecks, and the midi block would set that context property #t by 
default, that would certainly be a feasible solution.  Whether it's the best 
solution or not is beyond my ability to say.

It would not be an ideal solution if the user needed to add an override in the 
midi block to ignore the bar number checks, but it would still be a workable 
solution, because we could document the procedure.

Thanks,
