I would say it's common in *historical* parts, but it's not a good idea to reproduce it in modern parts. When I'm coaching chamber music and the parts are un-numbered at the first coaching, I tell the players to number all the measures, including 1st and 2nd endings, because I can't depend on them to do it right if they skip the 2nd endings in their numbering. Then at the next rehearsal, the first thing we do is check that everyone's measure numbers agree. But in a *printed* score, I would *not* number the 2nd ending. It's only when you're manually numbering that counting all the measures is the easy way to do it. -- David W.
