numbering a series of exercises

[Josiah Boothby]

Hello all,

I'm trying to do something that I suspect is easily done with scheme,
but I have no idea how: I'd like to create a list of exercises that are
automatically numbered. I'm currently using instrumentName for the
numbers, to get something that looks something like this:

1. ===
=

2. ===
=

3. ===
===

With code that looks something a little like this:

next = % simple scheme addition

exercise = \markup { \concat \next . }

\score {
  \new Staff \with {
instrumentName = \exercise
  } { 
% music 
  }
}

Thanks!

That got me on the right track, thank you! What I ended up with is a
bit simpler:

#(define sequence-number 0)

#(set! sequence-number (1+ sequence-number))
\score {
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = \markup { 
  \concat {#(number-string sequence-number)} . % 1.
}
  } 
  % music
}

#(set! sequence-number (1+ sequence-number))
\score {
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = \markup { 
  \concat {#(number-string sequence-number)} . % 2.
}
  } 
  % music
}
