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).
