Hey Aaron,

Standard B'way practice is to number EVERY measure, usually below the staff, aligned (more or less) with the left barline. Sometimes the cut is indicated with a small arrow next to the first post-cut measure, i.e.:

| 6    | 7    | 8     -> | 22    | 23    |

The arrow would be (basically) right-aligned with the right barline of the measure before the cut.

Cheers,

- Darcy

Hi all,

I've got another style question for the list. I'm preparing a version of piece with three or four substantial cuts. Because these cuts will never be opened, I'm actually removing the cut measures from my Finale file -- but I'm creating new measure regions so that the measure numbers in the new score always correspond to the same measures in the original uncut score.

My parts all have measure numbers at the beginning of each system, on top of the staff. Is there a standard way for indicating the first (new) measure number after a cut? In other words, if I've cut out mm.10-35, I want to make sure that there's a measure number on bar 36 so that someone counting from the beginning of the system (bar 8, say) doesn't get screwed up. I was thinking of putting these numbers on top of the staff, in parens or brackets; existing rehearsal numbers are on top of the staff, in a square enclosure.

Thanks,
Aaron.
