It has to do with the way the strings staves are set up, via the client's wishes, in order to accommodate complex string divisi. There are a minimum of 4 staves each for Violin 1,2, Viola, Celli, and Bass, as well as 5 staves for Viola d'gambi. In trying to sort out this measure number dilemma, I discovered that sometimes I entered notes onto single staves on the 2nd or 3rd stave rather than the first of each group. It's not an issue once everything is optimized, but it was an issue when trying to fix the measure numbers. While I could go thru the score and fix it, I simply don't have the time. So I'm opting to leave it alone or possibly go Javier's route with a ghost staff if the client presses the issue. But given the looming deadlines, I don't think he'll press it. *************************** J.D.
