[JWplugins] Numbered measures - sample styles

[KennethKen at aol.com]

I agree with Howard -- "Skip" being the verb, "xth measure" being the  
object of the phrase (the thing being skipped) -- it was a little  confusing.

To my  mind, the wording, "Skip every 4th measure"  suggests
"1,2,3,_,5,6,7,_,9,10,11,_,13...".

I think I see now where  I got tripped up. I had assumed the interval
settings would function the  same way that Finale's measure number region
settings do. If you wanted  1,5,9... you'd enter "Show on every 4 measures
beginning with measure 1."  To get 4,8,12... you'd enter "every 4 measures
beginning with measure 4."  If you followed the same method here, I'd think
you could do away with the  Number on Skips setting altogether.
