Some older conventions have the bit numbering starting at 1 instead of zero. I know it sounds a bit odd. But it should be possible to offset this.

ARINC 429 for example

You can use the start property on a structure to set the starting bit. I do realize now that it is now documented in the manual.

Your example can be done like this, although it is currently not possible to change name alignement (like MSB / DATA / LSB):

#import "@preview/rivet:0.3.0": schema

#let arinc = schema.load(```yaml
structures:
  main:
    bits: 32
    start: 1
    ranges:
      32:
        name: P
      31-30:
        name: SSM
      29-11:
        name: DATA
      10-9:
        name: SDI
      8-1:
        name: LABEL
```)

#schema.render(arinc)
