Actually, I don't think there is a cleaner way than providing a means to include a counter directly into the title markup. First, there are various different ways to number the titles (all of these are really used in published scores by well-known publishers): Nr. 1 Title No. 1 Title № 1 Title (That's the textnumero sign № as XML entity) №. 1 Title №. 1. Title 1. Title 1 Title 1 -- Title Further complicating is the fact that every now and then a header does not get a new number, e.g. in Oratorios when a piece consists of a short recitativo and then a choral. In some editions, such a piece gets a piece title of "9. Recitativo and Choral" and right before the begin of the Choral (two lines later) "Choral" without any new number.
