   • Click Select All Part Layouts.

   • Click Select All Custom Score Layouts.

   • Ctrl/Cmd-click individual layouts.

   • Shift-click adjacent layouts.

   By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog.

3. Select Bar Numbers from the Category menu.
4. Change the value for Minimum distance from other objects in any of the following ways:
