If you have a baroque dance movement: and the first beat is a pickup beat, that particular measure is not counted typically,

But in the 2nd section which starts with a pickup beat as well, does *that* 
measure get counted?
Finale seems to have a default which gives that particular measure a measure 
count.

No, the pickup should not be counted separately.

In 2k6 you can simply exclude the pickup measure from the measure count by using the measure tool, double clicking the measure, and deselecting "Include in Measure Numbering". Beware, though, there is a bug in Finale which occasionally applies the same measure attributes to the next measure as well. If you see this bug, please report it with the file to MakeMusic.

PS: Any chance you could switch your email program to use plain text for the Finale list? Thanks.
