So, in your example, the measure under the first ending is m.16, the measure under the second ending is m.17, and the first measure following the second ending is m.18.

This is definitely completely non-standard for classical music. Look into any complete edition, NBA, NMA, you name it. Never will it be done like this.



First "always" and now "never?" The world doesn't work like that.

Look into my ongoing Heinrich gesamtausgabe (now up to 28 vols. , w. a 29th currently in press) and you will find the measures numbered in *exactly* that way.

To me, measure numbers are written labels for written objects, and I am hardly the only person--nor the most radical--in the past century to question "standard" notational practices. A few years back on this list there was a Spanish horn player who insisted passionately that key signatures for horns were always and forever improper. This current discussion smells a lot like that...
