I am trying to create a booklet and this booklet contains four parts. Every part has some chapters, but memoir does not start recounting every chapter after a new part has started.

So I am getting this:

Part I

  1. Chapter
  2. Chapter
  3. Chapter

Part II 4. Chapter 5. Chapter

But I want this:

Part I

  1. Chapter
  2. Chapter
  3. Chapter

Part II

  1. Chapter
  2. Chapter

How do I get this?

Thank you very much in advance!

    \counterwithin*{chapter}{part} should do.

    Don't. But if you really want it, add \counterwithin*{chapter}{part} to your document preamble.

  • Why do you say don't? Thanks for the suggestion b.t.w.

    Because it'll get confusing if you say "look at chapter 1" (which 1 is 1?)

  • That might be true. I am going to reconsider this. Thanks for your help.

Reconsider it. However, you can do it and just comment the relevant line when you change your mind about it. I don't recommend doing it, because cross references will become awkward:

As we saw in chapter 1 of part II, something different happens with respect to what we saw in chapter 2 of part I.

\documentclass{memoir}

%%% reset the chapter counter when a new part starts
\counterwithin*{chapter}{part}

\begin{document}

\part{Title}

\chapter{Title}

\chapter{Title}

\part{Title}

\chapter{Title}

\chapter{Title}

\end{document}

enter image description here

Production note. In order to make the image, I used the oneside option and geometry with the a6paper option, but omitted that in the code above.
