Can I skip measure numbers?

[Charlie C]

I'm tranposing a part for Bass for a school musical. In the original part, for some reason the measure numbers skip from 58 to 61. I've searched this forum as well as the pdf manual but can not find any answer.

FYI: I'm using Finale 2003 for Windows.

PS. This forum is great! This is my first post but I've learned a lot by reading and searching. Maybe I'll eventually be able to answer someone else's question.

EDIT: I'm half way there, well maybe more than half way. I stumbled on to Measure Numbers, Edit Regions (in measure menu) and kind of figured out how to skip numbers (by trial and error). For some reason, it just doesn't show measure 61's number. But all others are there and I can live with that.

Look, if the region 58 to 61 is defined as a multimeasure rest!
It happens that you have a multimeasure rest and afterwards you enter music in these measures. Finale shows only the first measure and not the others until you break the mulitimeasure rest.

Thanks for the reply. The only multi measure rest was at measures 1-4. There were no others. I got the same results later in the song where the song skipped from measure 84 to 105. Using my "method", measure 105 was NOT numbered but measures 106 to the end WERE. Go figure??
