Re: How to count the number of notes in a .ly file?

[Urs Liska]

I repeat my (corrected) suggestion which could be a workaround at least.

If you can use Frescobaldi from Git you can pull and checkout the 
"accounting" branch (not "statistics") of my Frescobaldi fork on 
https://github.com/uliska/frescobaldi. (Ah no, you don't necessarily 
need Git, you can also download a ZIP file of any branch from Github)
This allows you to copy a rudimentary statistic to clipboard on a file 
basis (the open document). This contains a line

XX | Note

which you could grep or something like this to get your numbers.

Very hacky but _could_ work if the number of files is not too big.
