Deux autres possibilités:
- l'extension `blkarray` possède un compteur `\BAenum` à insérer où l'on veut dans le préambule de l'environnement `blockarray`;
- l'option `[table]` de `xcolor` définit un compteur `\rownum`, incrémenté automatiquement par la commande `\rowcolors` (couleurs qui peuvent très bien être `white` si l'on ne veut pas de couleur).
