2.

How many measures are there in Corelli's Opus 1, No. 11, first movement?

COMMAND:     census -k op01n11a.krn
COMMAND:     grep -c ^=[^=]' op01n11a.krn
ANSWER:         18

Notice that the grep command would fail to identify barlines that consist of a single equals sign on a line by itself. As a result, using census is better than using grep.
