This snippet demonstrates the use of the <code>Measure_counter_engraver</code> to number groups of successive measures. Any stretch of measures may be numbered, whether consisting of repetitions or not.

The engraver must be added to the appropriate context. Here, a <code>Staff</code> context is used; another possibility is a <code>Dynamics</code> context.

The counter is begun with <code>\startMeasureCount</code> and ended with <code>\stopMeasureCount</code>. Numbering will start by default with 1, but this behavior may be modified by overriding the <code>count-from</code> property.

When a measure extends across a line break, the number will appear twice, the second time in parentheses.
