I'm adding 3 regions of measure numbers.

The Region 3 starting number is supposed to be measure 23. But as you can see, it reads "Display As: '40-999'".

No matter what I do, the Display As won't change when I enter in the starting number that I want.

Any help is appreciated. Screenshot attached

I've had similar problems, and the solution was to delete all the regions and start over.

(And are you sure you want overlapping regions like that?)

Yes. Sounds odd, but yes.


I deleted all and started over. Still the same issue.

If you can attach your file, someone will probably be able to find out what's going on. You can delete all the notes if you want.

I figured a work around. Somehow the REAL measure numbers were being redefined by the alternate measure numbers I was adding in each region. Took some time but I got it to work.
