Sorry for the inconvenience to you, but this was indeed a deliberate change that was necessary to correct some other issues.

I have also tried opening a Notation Composer 2.6 file with the first measure set to Zero in Notation Composer 3. The file opens and plays and I can navigate to measure number 0 with the "qgm" command, but if I go to the Measure Numbers command it gives me an error message saying that the first measure must be greater than zero.

On opening this dialog as well as in some other measure editing procedures you'll run into error messages telling you that the measure numbering needs to be changed.

I haven't investigated if this might also cause a problem trying to open a First Measure Zero file in Notation Reader 3: this would be an additional problem for me.

Notation Player is still at version 2.6.3 so it should not present a problem there at this point in time. Since Player is just a reader, and the issues associated with the measure numbering were in adding/editing, Player is not affected.

ttfn,
Sherry
