I've been using JW Pattern successfully on Windows 7 to number empty measures after a multimeasure rests, for example

But on Windows 10 (still with 32-bit Finale), the option "Show on every [x] element, starting at [y]" doesn't seem to work.

As you see, it numbered the first measure (and indeed 2 and 3 as well, which are hidden by the multimeasure rest).

I'm curious if anyone has experienced similar. I upgraded JW Pattern to 1.11 as well when I went to Windows 10, so that may be it. I will experiment with reverting to 1.10 and see if that's it.

I went back to JW Pattern 1.10 (I think--no way to determine the version number that I could find) and it is indeed JW Pattern 1.11 that's broken, nothing to do with Windows 10. Perhaps someone can see if the 64-bit version has the problem as well.

Is there any way to report a bug? The website seems to discourage any sort of email contact.

I have Windows 7 and on Finale 25 with the plugin version 1.11. I seem to get the correct behavior.

That's the 64-bit version, right?

Finale 25 is 64-bit. Only the 64-bit versions of JW plugins will work in Finale 25. So, the one-word answer is: yes. Are you testing with 2014.5 with the 32-bit version of the plugin?

Yes, 32-bit. Seems low priority for him to fix, and I'm content with the down-rev version, so no big deal.
