Re: [Finale] Measure number zero

[Johannes Gebauer]

No. I don't think you are following my arguement. However, it really is 
only a philosophical discussion. The point being that in January 0001 
you are actually only one month into the year 1, while in december -0001 
you are only one month back into the year -1. In this concept, the year 
0 makes no sense.

I am not saying that your concept is wrong.

You give medieval astronomers too much credit.  There's no year zero 
because nobody made one (the AD system was created retrospectively, 
don't forget.)  If a year zero did exist, you'd be arguing that it would 
be ludicrous to leap from -1 to +1.
