I know we discussed something similar recently, but what does one when, in the middle of a piece, a new section starts with an upbeat and an incomplete measure? It looks rather strange to have no way of identifying that measure by a number if numbers are only given to complete measures.
Thanks,

Usually that pickup measure completes the preceding measure. In those rare instances when it doesn't, as long as all measures are numbered the same in score and parts, it doesn't really matter whether you number that pickup measure or not, when a person calls out "Let's start at measure 119" everybody will be able to find it.
To identify that particular measure it is easy to say "Let's start at the pickup measure leading into bar 120." It's only when it's hard to locate bar 120 that that method (or any method) is difficult.
