Markdown Numbering behavior in Paragraph

Here’s a wild one. How do I fix this? Markdown is resetting the count. Should be 20 tracks numbered 1-20. That’s what the editor shows. It is not what gets displayed. It resets to 1 for each grouping.

Put this in the editor:
J.S. Bach Partita No. 4 in D Major, BWV 828, arr. Lydia Consilvio

  1. Ouverture 6:38
  2. Allemande 10:02
  3. Courante 3:53
  4. Aria 2:16
  5. Sarabande 5:32
  6. Menuet 1:24
  7. Gigue 4:41

J.S. Bach Partita No. 3 in A Minor, BWV 827, arr. Lydia Consilvio

  1. Fantasia 2:40
  2. Allemande 4:32
  3. Corrente 3:40
  4. Sarabande 3:41
  5. Burlesca 2:03
  6. Scherzo 1:14
  7. Gigue 3:39

J.S. Bach Partita No. 1 in B♭ Major, BWV 825, arr. Lydia Consilvio

  1. Prelude 2:15
  2. Allemande 4:08
  3. Courante 3:26
  4. Sarabande 4:48
  5. Menuet I-II 3:21
  6. Gigue 2:50

…What comes out is:

J.S. Bach Partita No. 4 in D Major, BWV 828, arr. Lydia Consilvio

  1. Ouverture 6:38
  2. Allemande 10:02
  3. Courante 3:53
  4. Aria 2:16
  5. Sarabande 5:32
  6. Menuet 1:24
  7. Gigue 4:41

J.S. Bach Partita No. 3 in A Minor, BWV 827, arr. Lydia Consilvio

  1. Fantasia 2:40
  2. Allemande 4:32
  3. Corrente 3:40
  4. Sarabande 3:41
  5. Burlesca 2:03
  6. Scherzo 1:14
  7. Gigue 3:39

J.S. Bach Partita No. 1 in B♭ Major, BWV 825, arr. Lydia Consilvio

  1. Prelude 2:15
  2. Allemande 4:08
  3. Courante 3:26
  4. Sarabande 4:48
  5. Menuet I-II 3:21

Sorry I don’t see how to post images.

I changed to an html stack to work around it. This is FYI only.

@stevec Markdown is behaving as expected. Whenever you start a new ordered list it will automatically number the first item as “1.”

Keep in mind that when you create seperate lists, then markdown sees them as “new” lists so begins ordering from the start again. There are big advantages of the markdown approach: though probably not in your specific case.

Depending on your needs you can either adapt to this way of working, or perhaps use another type of stack. For instance, the default Text stack that comes with Stacks will do the numbering in the way you want. But there are likely other alternatives as well … depending on your needs.

I think you are able to do so, based on this example:

I just tried it - when you add 4 spaces in front of the single nut numbered lines, it does work:

J.S. Bach Partita No. 4 in D Major, BWV 828, arr. Lydia Consilvio

  1. Ouverture 6:38

  2. Allemande 10:02

  3. Courante 3:53

    J.S. Bach Partita No. 3 in A Minor, BWV 827, arr. Lydia Consilvio

  4. Fantasia 2:40

  5. Allemande 4:32

  6. Corrente 3:40

And if you do want the spaces before the line, just use the 4 spaces in the next line followed by a OPTION-SPACE:
