Quick question: I'm in the middle of transcribing a mass, which I've
split into separate files for the separate movements. Is there a way
to set the measure numbering continuous across them? I've found a
couple discussions of this as being an intrinsic limitation of
Lilypond, that it cannot do this automatically (the workaround is to
specify the measure number explicitly at the start of each file's
\score block, which seems clunky). Those discussions were all from 5-7
years ago; has any improvement been made to this limitation?
I’m pretty sure that not. It’s common practice to have independent bar
numbers for each score in a book and I don’t see any reason to deviate
from that. However, if you personally like to continue numbering across
movements, is there any problem with manual setting of measure count?
After all, it’s a matter of content (with the possible exception of
mensural transcriptions) and unlikely to change.
