Re: Consistent bar number positioning

[Nicholas Moe]

Thanks, Eluze. That worked in my example, but in the actual score, it
doesn't. The spacing is still inconsistent, especially after line
breaks. I'm including a better example of what happens.

\score {
        \new Staff = "staff" {
                <<
                        \new Voice = "music" \relative c'' {
                                \override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = 
#'#(#f #t #t)
                                \set Score.barNumberVisibility = 
#(every-nth-bar-number-visible 1)
                                \override Score.BarNumber #'extra-offset = #'( 
0 . -3.5 )
                                \voiceOne
                                \repeat unfold 9 { b1 } r2 r4 b4~ b8 b8 b4 b4 
b4 \break
                                R1 \repeat unfold 6 { b1 }
                                
                        }
