Is there a standard/convention/best practice on measure numbering in polymetric scores? I’m running into an issue of that myself (in my song “The Country Wife”), and can’t find anything definitive. Note: Gould (p. 484) writes, “Bar numbers should not be used in music in which individual performers have different numbers of bars or where barlines do not coincide”… but I’d like to at least have a non-recommended alternative.
What do you need the bar numbers for? I suspect rehearsal marks would fit the bill, no? If not, why not?
