+The "invisbar" can be used
+to force Mup into
+doing something in the middle of a bar that it normally would allow
+to happen only at a bar line.
+Suppose, for example, you wish to place a
+rehearsal letter
+in the middle of a measure. This could be accomplished as follows:
+
+// assume we are in 4/4 time, but want +// a rehearsal letter by count 3 +// of the measure + +// do first part of measure and use "space" +// for last part so time values will add up +// properly to a full measure +1: 4c;d;2s; + +// put in invisible bar with rehearsal letter +invisbar rehearsal let + +// now do the last half of the measure, +// this time with space at the beginning +1: 2s;4e;c; +bar +
+As another example of invisbar use, suppose you want to add a "courtesy"
+key signature at the end of a repeated section to remind the player that the
+beginning of the repeated section is in a different key. This can be done
+by adding an empty measure whose sole purpose is to produce this key signature.
+
+score key=3& +music +1: g;f;e;d; +repeatstart +1: c;e;f;g; +dblbar +score key=0& +music +1: g;f;e;d; +bar ending "1." +1: f;e;2c; +// add a courtesy key signature, +// to remind player the beginning +// of the repeated section is in +// a different key +invisbar +score key=3& +music +1: ms; +repeatend ending "2." +1: e;d;2c; +endbar +
+You can use a similar technique to insert time signatures, clefs, etc. +at unusual places. +
