Well, I beg to disagree. I still haven't heard of any edition by a major publisher that does not follow this standard. I actually did a little investigation in some scores I looked at, Eulenburg, Schott, B�renreiter, Henle. All of them follow the same rule. Please name one.

There are some special cases where repeats are numbered seperately, but they are rare, and there is always a good reason for this.

I have not seen a single score by a major publisher, where the first ending and second ending are just numbered through.

I really think that such practice is only done (at least as far as anything up to 1900 goes) by computer engravers who don't know better. That doesn't make it a convention.

Please show me proof if you disagree.

It's already become very clear that this is *not* a standard, but just one of several conventions.
