Consistently left-aligned bar numbers
When left-aligning bar numbers, overlapping problems may occur with staff brackets.
The snippet solves this by keeping the first bar number right-aligned that follows a line break.
consistentlyLeftAlignedBarNumbers = { \override Score.BarNumber.break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible \override Score.BarNumber.self-alignment-X = #(lambda (grob) (let ((break-dir (ly:item-break-dir grob))) (if (= break-dir RIGHT) RIGHT LEFT))) } \new ChoirStaff << \new Staff { \relative c' { \set Score.barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 3) \bar "" \consistentlyLeftAlignedBarNumbers \set Score.currentBarNumber = #112 \repeat unfold 8 { R1 } \break \repeat unfold 9 { R1 } \break \repeat unfold 7 { R1 } } } \new Staff { \relative c' { \repeat unfold 24 { R1 } } } >> \layout { indent = #0 ragged-right = ##t ragged-last = ##t } \paper { tagline = ##f }
