Re: bar numbering howto?

[Mats Bengtsson]

As Werner pointed out, the most common example of regular numbering
is to number 5, 10, 15, 20, ... I have never seen the scheme implemented
in this patch so please do not include it.

Of course, rehearsal letters or numbers that follow the phrasing or
thematic structure of the piece are preferable, at least in pieces
with a simple structure. However, if you think of pieces by Brahms or
newer, for example, you know that the structure could be very complex
and it's easier to use the regular numbering to make it easy to find any
bar number that the conductor may suggest. In instrumental parts for
film music, for example, I've even seen examples where every bar is
numbered.
