Do you need each file to have its own score block? If you just placed the music in the included file and the score blocks in the file that does the include, then you could do:

\score {
   \include "file1.ly"
   \include "file2.ly"
}

You might want a /break between them, but this would give continuous bar numbering.

Subject: Continuous numbering across includes


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?


Cheers,


A
