There are as many as I want. So far, I've got 44, and I'm about 2/3s of the way finished. > . . . add that many regions.

I despise the measure number regions dialog, and wish there were a smarter UI for it. Doing it that way is ridiculously complex, as I'd have to do all the calculation of what measure numbers go where. If it's not automatic with measure numbering, it's not worth mucking around with the measure number regions, as I can't see that I'm getting anything at all that I couldn't get much more easily with text expressions. -- David W.
