We definitely travel in different circles -- if I called out "Start at measure 7" everybody I've ever worked with would start counting from the first printed measure and count until they got to the 7th printed measure. I would have to say "Start at the 7th measure after the introduction" to get to where it seems your musicians would naturally start when you ask them to start at measure 7.
Ah, you don't number every measure then. I do. Bar 7 is where it says bar 7 :-)
No, I don't number every measure. But I place enough measure numbers in the parts so people can all find the same measures.
What do you do with music you haven't written, or arranged, or engraved?
How do you handle those situations, say with a 6-bar intro, and 2 written-out choruses of a 32 bar song form? If you ask for bar 7, which do you mean: the first bar of the first time through the song-form, or the 7th bar of the first time through the song form or the 7th bar of the second time through the song form? Especially if you get to the middle of the second time through the song form and things fall apart.
Actually this is a very interesting discussion because I had no idea people ever started numbering from someplace other than the first full measure of a song.
