I'll give that a try after our launch. It would be a good feature to
have in Frescobaldi. It's a common feature in a word processor, and also
belongs in a tool like Frescobaldi. 

For my purpose (score split over many files) David's suggestion likely
works better. I assume the Frescobaldi "hack"  only counts the notes in
the file that is open? Or does it follow the includes (recursively)?
