Hi all, 

How do you keep track of the "real" measure number in a multiple measure number region while staying in page view?  

 

I am creating an educational document (see attached pic) in which almost every staff system begins a new measure number region in which the first measure of that system begins with measure number 1.  

I find it easy enough to create new regions but it seems I have to track the actual measure number of the target measure as if there were only a single region in order to tell finale where the given measure number region begins.  That makes sense but it becomes very difficult to track as the document gets longer.  Am I missing something?  Is there anyway to easily see the "real" or cumulative measure number?

Many thanks!

In Scroll view, the "real" measure numbers are displayed at the top of the window.

 You could also temporarily create a "global" measure region (measure 1 to the last one), in parallel with the regions you have defined. At a later stage, you can delete that measure region.

Thank you Michel,

That would certainly help but because of the nature of the specific positioning of the  text and the music it would be really helpful to see it in page view as the text provides a lot of context to the content.   Does anyone know if that is possible?

Wouldn't my second suggestion (a global measure region, even temporary) work, as the numbers would appear in page view at the position (and font, size) of your choice ?

Yep!  For some reason that part didnt register until after I posted but I just tried it and it worked like a charm!  Many thanks Michel!

The reason is that I added the second suggestion a bit later. Good to hear that it can help.
