This snippet demonstrates the use of the Measure_counter_engraver 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 Staff context is used; another possibility is a Dynamics context.
The counter is begun with \startMeasureCount and ended with \stopMeasureCount. Numbering will start by default with 1, but this behavior may be modified by overriding the count-from property.
When a measure extends across a line break, the number will appear twice, the second time in parentheses.
\version "2.24"
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\consists #Measure_counter_engraver
}
}
\new Staff {
\startMeasureCount
\repeat unfold 7 {
c'4 d' e' f'
}
\stopMeasureCount
\bar "||"
g'4 f' e' d'
\override Staff.MeasureCounter.count-from = #2
\startMeasureCount
\repeat unfold 5 {
g'4 f' e' d'
}
g'4 f'
\bar ""
\break
e'4 d'
\repeat unfold 7 {
g'4 f' e' d'
}
\stopMeasureCount
}
