Perhaps http://freshmeat.net/projects/exmid/ is of some use to you. I haven’t tested it, but it should allow batch convert, after which the xml files are open for inspection. (Sources, last update on 12-Dec-2007)

Thanks for planning (including) this. And thanks for voting! I’m also looking for underscore lines in lyrics..

If I may add one more note, sorry, comment,

that the second bar and beyond stays the same while adjusting the bar (ie. sentence?) preceding, is actually usefull. The last note in a sentence is open to debate for choirs and/or conductors, meaning it can be lengthed or prolonged. Also, if the bar is that flexible as it is already (in the current noteflight version), notes can be added or removed in the same way, without effecting the bar (or sentence) next in place.

Cheers then! Perhaps an easy(er) way to change to 33/4 or 32/4 then..

This can be worked around though by enabling 33/4 measure times (for example)..

I know that everything contained in the follow up bars stays in place, I can keep that in mind.

Thank you joeberkovitz!)

May I suggest that ‘add new measure’ copies the hidden barline status of the previous. That may preserve the great ease-of-use factor (indeed one of its strengths to write home about!).
