The measure number has no particular significance other than being the address (to borrow a computer term) of the measure. The only important consideration is that the measure number of a particular measure should be the same in the score and in all parts. Instead of the proposed arrow, I might put a footnote by the measure number at the end of the section, and use a footnote in the score and parts to indicate that there were four measures omitted.
Using my example, if the conductor asks to begin at measure 55 and some musicians count backwards from the extra 60 measure number, they'll start 4 measures before where the conductor starts if they don't see/read the footnote.
Also, the parts have numerous other occasions where measure number jumps, so putting footnotes at each such will clutter the parts considerably.
(All movements where there are cuts will be listed on an index page.) Best regards, Jari Williamsson _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
