We normally count the measure from the first complete measure in a piece or section. I think I remember reading something about a rule that makes the pick-up measure by part of the measure count when it has a certain length (like more than half of a measure).
I can't find any reference to this in Stone, Read, Blatter or Ross.
Any clues?
I've never run into this, even with 7 8th-notes in a pickup measure in 4/4, the first measure of the counting is the first full measure.
