Description
Your idea
Would like a simple way to add etude or example numbers at the beginning of the system, either to the left (as shown) or even above the staff (placement should be able to be determined by the user).
Problem to be solved
There currently is no way to easily do this without using a hack or manually-placed text that could unpredictably shift.
