Jennifer, thanks for the reply.

When I say “Parent”, I just mean that the “Chapters” are correctly nested within the “Parts” (not for example, incorrectly placed the other way around) (see below).

I’ve tried EPUB, MOBI, and (since your post) PDF. I get the same problem with each format: the Chapter count not resetting.

EDIT: Image don’t seem to be showing up, and I can’t see a guide how to upload here (the BBCode isn’t a help), so I’ll just edit to the URL’s on Pasteboard.

In this image you see Chapters within Parts. (The numbering is Roman Numeral, see below, but it’s the same with standard Numeric)  
Below, the Chapters have \<$r:chapter\>  
And the Parts have \<$rst\_chapter\>  
So the Chapter Count should be getting Reset at the beginning of every new Part (such as Part 2 here); but it’s not.

I can’t seem to include the Test Scrivener Project to this post (and don’t want to lose this post) so I’ll try and attach below.

There honestly seems a lot of issues with the Compiler (and I’ve only been using it a couple of days):  
From the “unable to align/choose color” of text in the Compiler, as the buttons are grayed out, which I followed up on in [this thread](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/rc7-alignment-text-color-highlight-options-greyed-out-in-compile/50501/1) after someone else mentioned it.  
To the incorrectly mixed-case Roman numbering in the Title of Contents: despite setting it as $R (and even choosing “Uppercase” in both “Title Options” Case boxes) I only get mixed Case results, ala Iii, Iv, etc. I obviously should be getting III and IV. Notice this when generating a mobi, etc, in the (hopefully) attached Project.  
To the Compiler constantly “forgetting” Title Case in Title Options. I must have had to go back and rechoose “Uppercase” in the Title Options dozens of times. Try it with the Project attached. Set Part Title to Uppercase, Compile, close Scrivener down, and reopen it. The Case just keeps going back to Normal.
