Are you changing the ending number of region 1? I have made that mistake myself, on occasion.

Can we see what it shows with Region 2 highlighted?

I had the same problem: with region 2, 3 etc set for a measure range and the starting measure number textbox set to "1", the measures would still be displayed as if starting from the beginning.  I couldn't get the new range to start with 1.

The SOLUTION:  After setting up region 2, I changed the number Style to letters "A,B,C" and back to numbers 1,2,3 and that fixed the display range for the regions.  

To Robert Coil: Your solution worked perfectly. I had to do the operation twice, for an 8-movement work, but your suggestion worked like a charm both times. DEEPLY GRATEFUL. THANK YOU!!

Margaret Johnson,

I am not J Adrian Verkouteren (who wrote: “marking a measure not to count in the numbering”), but I think that I can answer your question:

Measure Tool.

Double-click the measure to be omitted from measure numbering.

The dialog box Measure Attributes appears.

De-select the option {Include in Measure Numbering}.

What does your Measure Regions box look like?

Measure region 1 always works fine. It's when I add a region is where I have the problem. In your example, my region 2 would read

"measure 6 to 9999--Display As. 6 to 9999"

I can't get the display to change, even though I change the starting number.

@Kathleen,

Can you show us a screen shot of your misbehaving Measure Number panel?
