You'd think after a hundred years of writing music and copying manuscripts I'd know this, but when I was asked today, and gave "my" answer, it made me think: Is this right??? Help me, o list gurus.
I generally do not call a pickup measure "measure 1" but start the numbering at the first full measure. I just went through a bunch of scores, but all have rehearsal numbers and no measure numbers, or the few that do, by some quirk of fate, all begin on the downbeat with full measures. All my orchestration books, band scoring books, notation books, etc. have no reference to this. Anyone out there have the gospel according to whomever? Do I need to call my pickup measure "measure one"? Thanks, all.
