Jake, meant to send my response to the list. Since you said it
worked for you, I'm sending again so that others might benefit from
it:<br>

IIUC, you want the scale bar separated into miles but the number to
be feet (5280 per segment). Some imperfect solutions:<br>
<br>
1) Set Map units per bar = 0.3 and Segment size = 1584. Scalebar
will display 5280 feet per segment, measurements will be off by
~1.5%<br>
<br>
2) Set Map units per bar = 1609.34 and Segment size = 1609.34.
Scalebar will display 1 mile (rather than feet), measurements will
be off by ~.0002%<br>
<br>
3) Beyond that, I would look for a US-foot based projection that was
close enough to what you want. If you really want it in transverse
Mercator you could define a projection that mimicked UTM 19N but
used feet as the unit.<br>
