Description
Your idea
Please add feature that would add a bar count for a group of repeated measures. See image below taken from Tchaikovsky Nutcracker Suite, VC part.
Problem to be solved
In orchestral music there are often large numbers of repeated measures. It would be very helpful to be able to add counts for these repeated measures, automatically. In professionally produced music these measures are counted. In MuseScore I have to add them as either Text or as "Lyrics". Neither of these methds are very neat and they are quite time consuming!
Prior art
I am aware that Lilypond can do this, but I'm not very good at using Lilypond!
I have looked for this facility and for a Feature request, but haven't found anything in MuseScore Github. Apologies if it is there!
