My own feeling is that measure numbers refer to measures on the PAGE. So each individual measure, no matter how many times it is played, gets one and only one measure number, and that number is the same number in the score and all the parts.

This is the method that is maximally clear to conductors and performers. (If you're doing a purely historical/analytical edition, you may have different needs.)

So, in your example, the measure under the first ending is m.16, the measure under the second ending is m.17, and the first measure following the second ending is m.18.

Cheers,

Say you have a piece that begins with 16 measures repeated with the last measure different for the second ending. What number does the next measure get 17? 33?

Thanks,
