A quirk of 2007 though is that if you have bars set without their
measure numbers to be included in numbering (new feature), and then go
in and change measure attributes of a later bar, it will sometimes
change the measure attributes of an earlier bar as well - in all parts
of course - without alerting you. Thus you can wreck all of your
parts in one hit very easily with this bug.
This is a bug. The only way to avoid it is to display real measure
numbers instead of defined measure numbers (program options) - in other
words the function to display defined measure numbers is completely
unusable.

Amen to that, and I've complained to MM about it. You can't use Defined
Measure Numbers in the playback panel to set the place you want playback
to start from, either.
The only way to work with having measure numbers different in the music
from the real measure numbers is to carefully keep a written record (for
longer or multi-movement works) of what the real numbers are relative to
the defined measure numbers, and then keep the program option set to
display real measure numbers.
Isn't it amazing how many new bugs they have managed to introduce in
this latest upgrade and all its "fixes?"
Perhaps MM decided to balance their accounting this year by eliminating
completely their Quality Control department!
