Maybe musically, but measure numbers are not for musical analysis, but for ease of rehearsing. Having more than one measure before measure 1 means that talking about the first full measure means *not* using simple measure numbers. The other issue is that your score will be forced to not follow the usual practice of having no measure numbers on the first system, since you have to indicate that it's the third frame that is actually numbered measure 1. -- David W.
