Changing the bar number enclosure type
If you want bar numbers to be clearly distinguished, you can enclose them in a rectangular or circular enclosure. You can change the bar number enclosure type in each layout independently of other layouts.
For example, you can have bar numbers appear with different enclosures in full score layouts compared to individual part layouts.
Procedure
Result
Bar numbers in the selected layouts are shown within your selected enclosure type. The size of the enclosure is relative to the font size of the bar numbers, but the size and shape of the enclosure are also determined by your padding values.
Example
![]() Figure: Bar number with no enclosure |
![]() Figure: Bar number with a rectangle enclosure |
![]() Figure: Bar number with a circle enclosure |
