Yes, that's what I would expect. Number all automatic footnotes sequentially, all other typically use a different symbol, so there is no confusion. To the contrary, if "2" is missing among the footnote labels, that looks really strange (and might even cause people to search for footnote 2). My typical use case is to add a star/dagger footnote to a title/author, and use numbered footnotes in running text (if I use lilypond for shorter textsin the score.) It looks really strange if the footnotes start at "2". On the other hand, it should be possible for the user to adjust the counter manually, e.g. if he doesn't like the automatic order of the footnotes (but doesn't want to do all number formatting himself). I haven't looked at the patch, but is this somehow possible (e.g. by using a tweak or an override)? An example of some undesired ordering is the other example I sent a few days ago. The first system is utterly messed up (maybe a bug), but there are also other "issues": The hairpin gets the footnote printed at the right end, but since it started earlier than another footnoted grob, its number is lower than a footnote printed before it.
