For your example, how about changing the program option to Display

I work in scroll view for basic note entry, articulation and expression
entry and lyrics entry.
Then I switch to page view to deal with page layout issues.
I think one of the greatest assets of Finale is that there are so many

No, I never suggested that your criticisms of Finale is inconsistent

You don't need to keep track of the numbers of measures in each section.

I have a slight problem, more annoying than anything else, with
measure number regions in a file. For whatever reason, the display of
the measure number in the lower left of the Finale status bar stops
showing the region in region 3 after measure 90, despite the fact
that the region extends

In the measure textbox in the lower left of the Finale status bar, as
I said in my original post. Obviously, that means scroll view, of

Hi,
you're right, I confused page measure numbers.
If you're positive that your measure number regions don't overlap, I
guess that's just slightly erratic behavior of Finale.

Finale only displays the region number if there are more than one region
with the same measure numbers in them.
For instance, if your region 1 has measure numbers 1-20, and your region
2 has measures 1-25, then Finale will display 1:1 or 2:1 and 1:2 or 2:2
all the way up through 1:20 and
