Re: Rehearsal letters?
<snip>
That said, I would welcome a rehearsal letter that was an attribute of the barline, with style set at the users' discretion - although, to be completely useful, its position would also have to be adjustable up, down, left, and right, to weasel it around other elements of the score.
Which is why I don't consider placing rehearsal marks as text a hardship.
A practical example:
A rehearsal mark is attached to the barline at the start of bar, say, 17. This barline is actually drawn at the end of bar 16 which, for the sake of argument, is at the end of a system. If the rehearsal mark is an attribute of the barline where will it end up? It SHOULD be at the start of the next system, but as the barline is at the end of the previous system guess where it would probably end up?
I'm sure this could be coded around but I'm not really a fan of automagic rehearsal marks anyhow.
Now, what I'd REALLY like is to be able to control the placement of bar numbers - I would like to be able to put them UNDER the barline instead of on top, and I'd like the option of numbering EVERY barline in the printout.
