Request: Measure Markers #60

Open bryanbraun opened 12 months ago

bryanbraun commented 12 months ago

Here's a feature request I got via email:

Add an option to draw measure markers (e.g., make certain lines bolder). This could be configurable by the user to draw them every "x" lines, to allow for time signatures like 3/4, or if they wanted to compose in double time so that the grid represents 16th notes instead of 8th notes, etc.

Shading the grid (either as an alternative to, or in addition to, making the lines bold) could be another way to indicate the measures.

When preparing songs for the paper strips, figuring out how many measures I had to work with was a critical step of the process, and numbering the measures would help keep track of where you are in the song.

I got another request for this via email that I wanted to capture here:

I transcribe songs from other music editing softwares (like guitar pro) into musicbox.fun. While doing that, it would be helpful to have the bar numbers in the music sheet on screen.
