I have a sequence of a few identical measures that I want to number. I added Measure_counter_engraver to a layout context, so I can use \startMeasureCounter and \endMeeasureCounter. But the first measure of the sequence has some markup that collides with the measure count and can't easily be moved. So I want to move that first measure count.
Using "\once\override MeasureCounter.X-offset = #-3" in the measure in question should do the trick---if it worked. But it doesn't. As far as I can tell, setting MeasureCounter.X-offset only has an effect in the layout block, which sets it globally. Is there a way to move one MeasureCount instance without affecting all of them? -David
