He should check what the settings are for all the measure number regions and adjust the position, etc. for all of them and delete any that he doesn't need.

I have been preparing works that have repeat signs and/or double bars in the
middle of measures. Several issues arose that I do not know how to fix:
I have renumbered regions to reflect whole measures. However, the default
measure numbers at the beginning of lines do not correspond with the numbers
in the region. I have been unsuccesful at trying to delete the beginning of
the line defaults without also suppressing the regional numbers. How do I
fix that?
Also, my handbell choir asked that I number each measure. I can not get the
regional numbers to move up and out of the way of the top voice which is
often above the staff. I also have two sets of numbers when I try to add
the regional numbers instead of the default numbering. What works?
Thanks for your continued help!

This sounds like you don't have the regions properly set. There are no default measure numbers, aside from the first region that shows up when you create a new file. Simply delete that region in the Measure tool, Measure Menu>Edit Regions... dialogue box to get rid of it.
Normally if you click on a measure number in the score while in the Measure tool, then hit Delete (Backspace I think on a PC) then that number only will be deleted. But setting the regions properly is the best bet.
Positioning is set in the Measure tool, Measure Menu>Edit Regions... dialogue box ("Positioning..."). Make sure you have the proper region selected before you adjust this. New regions adopt the characteristics of the previous region, so you can save yourself a lot of tweaking by setting the FIRST region correctly BEFORE you create a new region.
You could send me the file as an attachment (NOT to the list!) and I could check it out for you if you like. Let me know what version of Finale you used to create the file.
