Barrett had material on "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn", but I don't think he had anything on any of the other albums- from Saucerful of Secrets on. Which is too bad, PATGOD was pretty good.
PF did refer to him and dedicated many songs to him, but I don't recall that he had actual input.
I have "The Madcap Laughs" (1975) and found the music to be catatonicly dull and flat.
OTOH, Barrett was a big fan of kid's literature- "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" is Chapter 7 of The Wind in the Willows, sort of like Alice in Wonderland and E E Milne's influence on Jefferson Airplane.

Saucerful of Secrets was a great album, IMHO.

He actually did Jugband Blues on Saucerful of Secrets, and others such as Apples and Oranges, and see Emily Play but they never made it on any Floyd albums.
