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?
I’m pretty sure that not. It’s common practice to have independent bar
numbers for each score in a book and I don’t see any reason to deviate
from that. However, if you personally like to continue numbering
across movements, is there any problem with manual setting of measure
count? After all, it’s a matter of content (with the possible
exception of mensural transcriptions) and unlikely to change.
Probably you could write something in Scheme that determines the measure
count of the included scores and does what you want automatically.
But I agree with Simon that this would probably be overkill. Except
you'd be dealing with hundereds of cases.
(And for the record: I have no idea how that would have to be approached).
