Hi David,

Just to be clear, I agree with this -- as you say, historical forms in which the numbering system you describe is what's expected. But I would never recommend that this numbering system be used for a piece of new music.

Cheers,

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.

I would do that in the vast majority of situations. The one exception
would be a binary form with clear 8- or 16-bar sections, where the
numbers will then come out wrong if you count the 2nd endings. If the
B section begins in measure 10 instead of measure 9, it will confuse
those who are accustomed to the conventions of these historical
forms.
