Re: continuous numbering over several pieces

[Mats Bengtsson]

I'm afraid I cannot provide any perfect solution. The problem, as has been
discussed several times on the mailing list, is that you have run into a 
limitation of
LilyPond, namely that you can only have one \mark at each bar line. 
Therefore
it's not possible to specify one \mark to appear at the and of a line 
and another one
to appear at the same (musically) bar line after the line break. One 
possible workaround
is to attach one of the markups to a note instead, for example the one 
before the line break.
Another possibility might be to add a spacer note after the final bar 
line and use
\stopStaff and \startStaff to hide the corresponding staff lines. The 
result will be
that the final score line is shortened a bit, which might look well anyway.
