COMMAND

barnum -- Number, renumber, or remove barline numbers in Humdrum files.

barnum [-r|-s number] [input] [> output]

-r		Remove all barline numbers from the data.
-s number		Number measures starting at number rather than 1.

Example usages of the barnum program are available on the barnum examples page.

Input arguments or piped data which are expected to be Humdrum files can also be web addresses. For example, if a program can process files like this:

       program file.krn

It can also read the data over the web:

       program http://www.some-computer.com/some-directory/file.krn

Piped data works in a somewhat similar manner:

       cat file.krn | program

is equivalent to a web file using ths form:

       echo http://www.some-computer.com/some-directory/file.krn | program

Besides the http:// protocol, there is another special resource indicator prefix called humdrum:// which downloads data from the kernscores website. For example, using the URI humdrum://brandenburg/bwv1046a.krn:

      program humdrum://brandenburg/bwv1046a.krn

will download the URL:

http://kern.humdrum.org/cgi-bin/ksdata?file=bwv1046a.krn&l=/brandenburg&format=kern
Which is found in the Musedata Bach Brandenburg Concerto collection.

This online-access of Humdrum data can also interface with the classical Humdrum Toolkit commands by using humcat to download the data from the kernscores website. For example, try the command pipeline:

      humcat humdrum://brandenburg/bwv1046a.krn | census -k

The program fails Test 003 (does not number measure 2) and Test 007 (does not number measure 4; numbers the barline after measure 4 as measure 4). Also Test 010 (adding barlines to non-kern data) is not yet implemented.
