Negative page offset
I'd like to be able to set a negative page offset (in Layout → Page Settings... → First page number:), with the effect that page numbers below 1 are just not displayed.
So I can have a score that starts with, say, page -3, which is to mean that the first four pages won't show a page number and the 5th page gets page number 1.
Reasonable?
Should be fairly easy to implement and I volunteer to do it...
Edit: I actually did it already, see https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/1706
In an additional/later step those unshown page numbers (< 1) could optionally get shown as upper- or lower case roman numerals (I, II, III, IV... or i, ii, iii, iv...) maybe?

Sooner or later I'm going to be self-publishing my scores, and I intend to include title pages, so this is a very good feature!

This may be documentated in handbook....

You mean the i, ii, iii, iv 'numbering'? No, not yet.
And for it needing to get documented, that PR Needs to get accepted and merged first ;-)

Oh right, sorry, I'm not really good at all in "musescore developpement process"
That PR got merged just now, so negative page number offsets are now possible.
Nothing had been done yet though about that additional/later step reg. roman numerals.

Layout and formating ?
Either in Header Footer Number...? ;)
in another new basic section page (Numbering ?)

Header/Footer/Numbers just mentioned the Macros and those come with their own eplanation via a tool tip.
A page on it own would be to much for such a small thing.
Guess I'll settle for http://musescore.org/en/node/35896#layout-page-settings

Oh I was thinking of that part of page too but didn't found the number page on the screen shot anymore
