Default Re: Cannot set First Measure Number to zero

Hi guys,

Actually it will take a substantive effort for the programming aspect because of how other areas (eg. regions) are set up. However, we do have it on the "to do" list but it won't make it into the next 3.0.3 release.

One way that I work around this issue with my own scores is to use Rehearsal Marks and not showing measure numbers. I put the "desired" measure number in a Rehearsal mark every so often (eg. at the beginning of each new section or phrase of music), and then use those to reference location. You can use the keyboard shortcut "qgr" (quick go rehearsal) to go to a given Rehearsal mark in the score quickly if you're using Composer as your "band". This also lets you sync your scores with any accompanist you may have as well.

Of course if you have other Rehearsal Marks already set, it's not so useful

Hope this helps for the interim!

ttfn,
Sherry
