The tendency to do things in ways that delineate the formal outline
surely stems from the necessity for the jazz musician to be fully and

no argument with those who choose to to things differently, but I find
it useful to separate the "intro" elements from the start of the form
so, when those measures need numbers, I use a,b,c, etc. and start the
actual form with measure 1. As long as there's an identifier so
people can find the place they need to locate in the occasional chaos
of rehearsals and performances, it seems OK to me.
I thought rehearsal letters were what one used for delineating form.
Yes, Those too. But many of us are so used to 1,9,17, 25, 3,3 etc. (or 1,13,25, 37) that they often serve the same purpose.
