A partial or pickup does not rate even a 0, because there is no such thing as a measure! You really number bars, not measures. A bar is something and a measure is nothing, in the sense that a measure is not a symbol. A bar is an indication of a first beat. A pickup-anacrusis-partial doesn't start with a first beat. No bar, no number. It's ok to call measures bars, because a bar is something and a measure isn't, but it has caused people to have to refer to bars as barlines. ------------------------------------------------------------ Information is not knowledge.
