Is there a way to add multiple measures in a bar? Like measure one is 1 and 13 and it shows up as 1/13? I have a piece that has the first 12 bars repeated and I want to save space. I guess I can create two measure number regions, but is it possible to do it in one?

I am not sure I understand.

Take a look at the attached Finale 2014 document.
Is this what you mean?

Yes, that was exactly what I was thinking about. I figured that was the only way to do it, but I was hoping to not have to make it two number region and that the program is smart enough to do it in one number region.

This is not a particularly elegant solution, but may work rather easily.

What about hiding the measure numbers for all of your measures, then adding the measure numbers as two different verses on the lyric tool? You could drag it to be above the staff, if you wish. Of course this means adding the number manually, which is not fun. :cry:
