Edit the Measure Number Regions. Edit the first region to be measures 2 through 118, start the numbering at 1. Create the second region to be measures 121 through 317, start the numbering at 121. That should leave the pickup plus measures 119 and 120 outside any measure number regions and thus shouldn't show any numbers. I've always found that pickup measures work best for me if I create them by hand rather than using Finale's built-in pickup measure creation, but that's perhaps a discussion for a different thread.
