Actually, I don't think there is a cleaner way than providing a means to
include a counter directly into the title markup. First, there are various
different ways to number the titles (all of these are really used in published
scores by well-known publishers):
Nr. 1 Title
No. 1 Title
№ 1 Title (That's the textnumero sign № as XML entity)
№. 1 Title
№. 1. Title
1. Title
1 Title
1 -- Title
Further complicating is the fact that every now and then a header does not get
a new number, e.g. in Oratorios when a piece consists of a short recitativo
and then a choral. In some editions, such a piece gets a piece title of "9.
Recitativo and Choral" and right before the begin of the Choral (two lines
later) "Choral" without any new number.
Cheers,
Reinhold
