I want to use \Alph{mycounter} to have my theorems labelled by capital roman letters and a short search led me to conclude that all I need to write is

\newcounter{mycounter}
\Alph{mycounter}
\theoremstyle{theorem}
\newtheorem{mainthm}[mycounter]{Theorem}

Upon compilation of

\begin{mainthm}
   Something.
\end{mainthm}
\begin{mainthm}
   Something else.
\end{mainthm}

I get "Theorem 1. Something." and "Theorem 2. Something else.". Do I need to fix something in my syntax? I also tried removing some possibly conflicting packages like amsthm and cleveref, to no avail.

BTW: You can generally increase your chances of a qualified answer by showing not just snippets of code, but a minimal working example. – cabohah Feb 12 '24 at 17:48

Does this answer your question? How to change the numbering of \part, \chapter, \section, ... to alphabetical, Roman numbers, etc or how to enumerate theorems using letters? – cabohah Feb 12 '24 at 17:52
@cabohah Thanks, the answer in second link works! And I'll be more careful next time with the MWE. Do I need to add the solution to my question? – Lorenzo Riva Feb 12 '24 at 18:40

@LorenzoRiva no, you don't. Your question will be closed as duplicate, making it yet another link to the question which helped you, you don't have to do anything else here. Glad you found a solution! – Skillmon Feb 12 '24 at 18:42
