It looks like if you put measure numbers at the start of each system and you put measure number ranges on multimeasure rests, if the rest is at the beginning of a system it suppresses the start-of-system number. This is not good, because one wants to be able to run one's eyes down the left side and find the measure you want.
If you want a measure range, you can set the position of the numbers, but if you just want the starting number, it chooses some default (apparently a value designed to clear a treble clef). Why is that?
Is there any way around this nonsense short of having duplicate regions?
