Unfortunately not, they are even more confusing now.

I guess that parts should not start at 1, but use the same numbering as the
transcript?
What if different fonts/fontsizes are used? Then the numbers don'T match again.

Anyway - Instead of opeing the linenumber-menu, open Format|Paragraph→Numbering
OOo remembers the last tab, so you don't have to switch to the Numbering tab
manually every time.

Format|Numbering is a totally different thing than linenumbering. Numbering
enumerates paragraphs, in the sense of "point one: <bla>, point two: <bla>,
point 3: <bla>, has a grouping sense) Linenumbering just is that: counting the
number of lines.

Again - even when you mean Tools|Linenumbering - this doesn't make sense. It
would depend on where the cursor is and this ist just a bad thing. The
Tools|Linenumbering dialog sets the global options. The "restart at number"
thing is a property of the paragraph. If the paragraph moves, that doesn't
matter, it is still assigned to that paragraph.
Imaginge a user placing the curor at the top of the page and then choosing
Extras|Linenumbering and sets it to restart at 1 because he wants to restart it
at the beginning of page 2.
Now he adds more text and pushes the first paragraph of page 2 further down. HE
could then end up with something like

55 blabla - used to be on page one
[...]
1  that formerly was at the top of the page

This is surely not what the user intended to do. And you cannot make clear in
the dialog that it is a paragraph property. - But this is how writer works.
