13 Special uses of invisbar
16 The "invisbar" can be used
18 doing something in the middle of a bar that it normally would allow
19 to happen only at a bar line.
20 Suppose, for example, you wish to place a
21 <A HREF="bars.html#reh">rehearsal letter</A>
22 in the middle of a measure. This could be accomplished as follows:
24 // assume we are in 4/4 time, but want
25 // a rehearsal letter by count 3
28 // do first part of measure and use "space"
29 // for last part so time values will add up
30 // properly to a full measure
33 // put in invisible bar with rehearsal letter
34 invisbar rehearsal let
36 // now do the last half of the measure,
37 // this time with space at the beginning

44 As another example of invisbar use, suppose you want to add a "courtesy"
45 key signature at the end of a repeated section to remind the player that the
46 beginning of the repeated section is in a different key. This can be done
47 by adding an empty measure whose sole purpose is to produce this key signature.
58 bar ending "1."
60 // add a courtesy key signature,
61 // to remind player the beginning
62 // of the repeated section is in
68 repeatend ending "2."
