Plop, I need a measure counter for the score I'm currently typesetting and found this thread again. I am just wondering: Reinhold, are you still working on this? I am aware of the workaround of LSR 473 (and already used it although it is a "bad trick" and still does not print number 1, thus requiring another even worse trick).
