Cannot set First Measure Number to zero

Thanks for the reply. I completely understand about prioritisation: for some years I worked for a small software company and we had precisely the same problem. I have no idea if this is an issue for any other users as Composer is used for such a wide range of purposes, and I quite accept that if I am a lone voice then it will fall off the bottom of the list.

Worth raising though as either others who do find it a problem will support the issue or there may be someone who can suggest a workaround.

Would be good to find some solution as we are a choir of 40 singers and the thought of altering 40 copies of a score for measure numbers gives me a bad headache.

I guess what I might have to do is to leave any Composer score unnumbered and then write in the measure numbers after printing.

The only problem that leaves me is that sometimes we split the choir and I take the men off to a room where we do not have an accompanist so use Notation as a rehearsal aid meaning it would be a challenge to jump back to a measure if the internal numbering system does not match the score.
