Thx David,
I feel it's getting close, but I'm stuck waiting for help because I don't understand the Scheme code. :)
Thank you!

Hi Kieren,
I thought about this option, and I found how to add a counter in the shortInstrumentName; http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=543 (and it works and give the perfect placement I want) but I don't know how to link it to the number of the bar beginning the system :)
Thanks anyway,
Best regards,
Pierre

Bonjour, Pierre!

I would like to position the bar numbers for a piano system in front of and centered on StartSystem Brace. Like if it was in the place of the Instrument Name (or Short Instrument Name).

The best way, I imagine, would be for shortInstrumentName to actually *be* a call-back function that displays the bar number.

Interesting idea to hook onto instrument names since that would handle the positioning.

See my experiments in the attached file.

I first tried an engraver, but you can see the problem!  The bar number text is set once and for all to 21--which is the last measure LilyPond sees (one beyond the 100 of the score).

I next tried a callback for InstrumentName.after-line-breaking.  It works, but there's no way I know of to get the bar number, so you have to add it to the list that the function is called with.

Maybe the best way is to write something to change the positioning of BarNumber, but I need to work on something other than LilyPond for the time being, so any takers welcome!

Hope this helps.

Best,

David
