Cannot set First Measure Number to zero

[herbert]

Hi,

By itself, it may not be too difficult to program Composer to use zero and negative numbers for measure numbers. The problem may be more about priorities of what must be done next, to improve Composer for everybody. I fear that the problem of measure numbering is very low on the priority list.

I think that the measure numbering system is most fundamental. It should be looked at with some urgency. Other systems are possible, using letterers and numbers below measure 1.

Best wishes

Herbert.
