How it does work:
Here is what we do: We define the counter
\newcounter{MyCounter}
then we add
\renewcommand\theMyCounter{\roman{MyCounter}}
after it, and it works. Thanks to Axel for his help on this.
How it does not work:
When you define a new counter like this
\newcounter{MyCounter}
And later use it like this
\refstepcounter{MyCounter}\label{example}
\roman{MyCounter}. Beispiel eins
\roman{MyCounter}. Beispiel eins
And then reference it like this:
And now I reference an example \ref{example}. \end{document}
Then LaTeX still interprets it as something like
\newcommand\theMyCounter{\arabic{MyCounter}}
So it results in an arabic number. This is not what we want. We want to reference the counter in lower roman (or upper roman or alph or what have you), too.
