Yes, that would be feasible. But you would need to write
"start=8;renumber" or -d start=8 renumber, as otherwise the start
variable is set to 8 after the command has been performed.
Although the | % <number> is a convention, and ly is mainly intended to
perform operations that really can't be done by some other intelligent
editor algorithm. ly also excepts a semantically complete LilyPond
input, i.e. it can parse "\relative { c d e f g }", or "{ c d e f g }",
but not "c d e f g", as pitch names aren't written in the toplevel
LilyPond context.
I am planning support for auto-inserting, and checking, bar checks. That
tool could then have an option to add numbered comments.
But this idea raises another idea: The ly utilities are perfectly
capable to operate on ranges, they also do that inside Frescobaldi.
So when calling ly from an external editor, and intending for it to
operate on some selected range, the best way would be that ly still is
fed the whole text input, but that some command or variable would
restrict the range to operate on (e.g. "select" the fragment to be
manipulated).
Support for selecting a range before calling a command is planned.
Best!
Wilbert
