I know in my world, which is show-business, I have never seen bar
number 0. Neither in classical music. I also think that a drummer
playing from bar 0 to bar 7 in a jazz standard repertoire would be very
surprised to find a section to begin on bar 8 and not on bar 9!

Now I understand -- why not just have the 2 regions?
I can't figure out how to accomplish what you're asking without
either 2 regions or one region defined to start in the second
measure as measure 1 and a 0 added as an expression.
Sorry I can't offer you better help! :-(

The basic problem here seems to be a client who thinks it's logical
to have a measure zero. It's no more logical than to have a page
zero in a book, or a year zero in our calendar. The human mind
doesn't work that way. Looks like anything you do to satify her will
have to be a kludge.

In film music this happens quite often and Dan is right. It has to be
the exact same way in all of the parts as it is in the score just as
the composer has it. Time is so precious on a scoring stage and
overtime is a bad thing...very expensive. So the fewer questions
there are, the faster things go. Even something perceived as trivial
as this by some can hang a session up. All the conductor would have
to say is "4 Free (clix) to bar zero" (or perhaps 3 Free for example
if the zero bar is a pickup bar) and if there is no bar zero...well,
then trying to tell 80 plus people what it should be....
Click tracks are generated in different ways by different composers
too so whatever works for them is what is used...this translates to
the page in different ways.
Copying for Film music is a different animal than traditional
engraving. Things aren't always done in a traditional way...sometimes
it's more utilitarian. It has to be on the page in a very clear way,
has to be accurate. These amazing session players are sight reading
everything too. I still get blown away by them. So whatever the
copyists can do to make it easy for the players to read, with as
little confusion as possible, is what is best even if a few
traditional engraving rules are broken from time to time. And if it
makes sense to the composer and music editor...that is what is done
:-)
