I usually count like:pa.re.ci.vo.mu.xa.ze.bi.so.pano.pare.paci.[...].panono.panopa.panore.[...]Or if I'm in a real hurry:pa,re,ci,vo[...]pano,papa,pare,paci[...],panono,panopa,[etc...]

http://dag.github.com/cll/18/12/The ability to utter bare numbers as grammatical Lojban sentences is primarily intended for giving answers to “xo” questions. (Another use, obviously, is for counting off physical objects one by one.)
This implies {pa .i re .i ci}, not {pa re ci} for counting, right?
Because honestly, I've used both when counting to myself (stitches, during knitting and crocheting), depending on whether the extra syllable was convenient.
Similarly, I can imagine counting time in music with {pa re ci} when counting quarter notes and {pa .i re .i ci .i vo .i} when counting eighths. I'm not sure what horrible mangling of grammar I would do for 16th notes.
