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!

If you've been following the discussion you would realize that bar 0 is not a real bar of the music at all, but rather an "empty" measure of just the clicks of the click track so that when all the musicians begin playing in measure 1 they will all be in sync with the click track as well as with the conductor and each other.
The "real" music begins in measure 1, just as you would want it to.
Again, as so often happens on this list, a request for help with Finale has devolved into a "gee, you shouldn't want to do that at all / why not it makes great sense" discussion.
So far there have been only a small handful of actual attempts to help the original poster, followed by a much larger number of "why would you want to do that" posts.
It's all well and good to have philosophical discussions, but more people who are willing to rail against doing something should spend more energy in helping the poor individual who is being hired by a client to engrave exactly what the manuscript shows.
And we all know that the client is boss, right? At least if you want the next job after the current one.
