In continuous view, the measure number (in light-blue) is left-aligned with the instrument name. The problem with this is that the number (#1 etc.) can often be 1-measure ahead of itself, so-to-speak, because the change in display number is triggered by the leading edge of the instrument name.

The Solution: Right-align the measure display number with the instrument name. Then it changes only when its leading edge hit the next measure. So it will always be in synch.

Right-align to top-instrument (I guess). The point is to ensure that the displayed number is always the same as the measure it visually coincides with.

I would not change the alignment but instead fix this issue
the change in display number is triggered by the leading edge of the instrument name.
