Jari:

I think that when users pop up the Category menu and see their categories in there, it'll be clear for them. I don't how the wording needs improvement.

The "Start measures to skip" and "Interval" labels are a little confusing. Does the first mean:

Skip [XXX] measures at beginning     ?

And what will happen? If I put a 4 in the box, will a 1 appear in the fifth measure? Or a 5?

If it's the latter, perhaps:

First appearance of sequence after [XXX] measure(s).

The reason "Interval" is confusing is that Finale is after all music program. (If I put a 9 in the box, will it add a minor or major 9th?) "Frequency" is not much better, nor is "cycle."

Maybe something like: "Appearing every [XXX] bars."

A request? I don't know if it's possible for a plug-in to pull this kind of information, but when I'm numbering I like to see a number appear on the last bar of a system. For example:

              4       6
|   |   |   |   |   |   |

      8              12
|   |   |   |   |   |   |

Is that possible?
