Sorry I wasn't too clear.  My measure numbers are strictly sequencial. 
I don't care if it matches phrasings, besides many of my compositions
has odd phrasings.  So, I never assign multiple sets of measure
numbers.  Again, strictly sequential regardless of repeats.  On the
other hand, I am very careful to put rehearsal letters organically to
the music.

Yes, this is very common.

Again, mine is strictly sequential.  I use a lot of rehearsal letters
even within an open solo section, so it would be like:
"OK, let's start from [Solo D] last time"
which means take the last ending.  I have not experienced anyone getting
confused with my charts.
