Just to make sure I understand your request, relative to how the object currently works: With the new value of "default", if the user object immediately follows a barline, then you want it to display that barline's number (i.e. what "prior" would do), and if it immediately precedes a barline, then it should display the following barline's number (i.e. "next"). But what behavior should the object have if the object is somewhere in the middle of the measure?
I think I could accommodate your new behavior by adding another property, let's call it "Auto-select", as a checkbox. If the box is unchecked, then the behavior is as the object currently works. If it is checked, then it will choose the prior or next barline's number if it is adjacent to the prior or next barline. And if it is in the middle of the measure, then it will use the "Reference Which Bar" property to determine which value to display.

I doubt if this is possible ten years after the last update (and the five-year-old request not fulfilled) but I would like to see an additional option on the "Reference Which Bar" property: "Default". This would look immediately to the left and right of the object, and, if there were any type of bar immediately adjacent to the object, set the bar number to the number of that bar.

How can I increase the font size for page numbers?
There are 2 relatively easy ways.
For the standard, garden variety page numbers, the font used is called "Page Small Text" in the |File|Page Setup...|Fonts (Tab) dialogue - simply increase the size from the default of 8. This has the drawback of affecting ALL text entries that use "Page Small Text"
If you have looked at "User Objects" at all, you can use the "PageTxtMaestro" and "PageTxt" objects to replace the default page numbering and you can select alternative display fonts in the "PageTxt" object. Just remember to turn page numbering OFF in |File|Page Setup...|Options (Tab).
To check to see if it is already installed; simply open a score, press <J> to open the object dialogue, press <p> to take you to the "p"s in the list and if you have it installed then you will see "PageTxt.nw" and "PageTxtMaestro.nw" in the object type list.
The "PageTxtMaestro" objects are quite powerful and can give excellent results when you learn to use them effectively.

I changed the script to allow the time signature to be read from a "fake" object as well as a real time signature. When selecting a number of measures that don't have a time signature, the script will read the time signature then in effect.
Please look at the top message for the new script. I'll submit this to the Scriptorium after I tackle any bugs. The only change was on line 50.
I guess I'm inferring from the second piece, that the composer used the wrong symbols to signal his intent.... or the typesetter made a mistake in his manuscript interpretation.
I have no difficulty to assume something like this.
The D.C. at end was likely intended to return to the beginning of the verses, NOT including the 2-measure repeat ad-lib at the start.
Indeed, D.C. (in music ) means "da capo" that is verbatim for "from the beginning". I'd then expect to resume the whole score, including the first two measures. If you want to resume from a different point instead of the beginning then you must use the "dal segno" that means, verbatim, "from the mark".
You are exactly right about their meaning, however, the composer used the mark/sign at the very beginning of the second piece, which included the 2-measure master repeat ad-lib, instead of D.C., which would have been more sensible. Other than the flow directions, the set-up was exactly the same as the first piece. Since he used the D.S. to specifically include the ad-lib, I rationalized that in his first piece, his definition of "the beginning" must have been different than in the second.
I guess I'm inferring from the second piece, that the composer used the wrong symbols to signal his intent.... or the typesetter made a mistake in his manuscript interpretation. Either way, it'll print out exactly like the original and the end-user can make up their own mind how to interpret it.
