Default Re: Cannot set First Measure Number to zero

Hi,

You can blame me. Many years ago, I had suggested to Mark Walsen, the founder and developer of Notation Composer and related products, to allow measure numbers to be zero or negative, for the reason Tim is interested in, but also for making any Intro not count as part of the main structure.

I mostly arrange orchestral music. The first thing I do is always to mark out the structure of a song. The Intro is really not part of the main structure. Sadly several Commands, that had not been changed for the new numbering system, introduced errors. In Composer 3, The first measure is always measure number 1.

Cheers,

Herbert
