I'm not talking about what happens when you type something in the box to jump to it. I'm only talking about what is displayed. > I, for one, like the way it is implemented and have no confusion working > with it. You like seeing 1:23 go to 2:1 and then 2:31 going to 3:1 and then 3:89 going to 90 and then 3:121 (which is displayed only as "121") going to 4:1, etc.? You seem to not have considered that my lone measure 90 falls in the middle of the piece, in section 3 of a piece with 7 measure number regions. > But I would certainly have no problem with what you are asking for being > a program option so you could use it as you think suits you best.

You claim you like the feature because it allows navigation to unique measure numbers without specifying the region. I think that's a good thing, too. But it is completely orthagonal to the original issue, the *display* of the measure number. -- David W.
