Hello Collective Wisdom,
I've got a file with no measure numbers, am trying to add a meas.number region of the most basic kind: 1 region, meas 1-999, displaying as 1-999, hide first measure, show on start of staff system. It doesn't happen.
What have I done to block this?
Select All --> Measure --> Show Meas.Nos doesn't help, nor does Select All --> Measure --> Restore Meas.No Defaults.
TIA for all help as always!
Ch.S.

Without seeing the file... :
• Staff Attributes : under Items to Display, did you check Measure Numbers ?
• Edit Measure Regions has 2 sets of parameters : one for the score and one for the linked parts. Make sure that both are defined correctly. And "All views" selected.

What you have done, does not add a Measure Number Region.

My first guess would be that the document does not contain any measure number regions at all.

Try this:
Document menu > Edit Measure Number Regions…

In the dialog box {Measure Number} you can delete, add and edit measure number regions.
