Adding bar number changes

You can manually add bar number changes to bar number sequences, for example, if you want bar numbers in the second flow in your project to appear to continue the sequence from the first, rather than start again from bar one.

Procedure

  1. Select one of the following:
    • An item in the bar from the beginning of which you want to change the bar number sequence.

    • An existing bar number or barline from which you want to change the bar number sequence.

    You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.

  2. Choose Edit > Bar Numbers > Add Bar Number Change. You can also choose this option from the context menu.

    The Insert Bar Number Change dialog opens.

  3. Choose one of the following options for Type:
    • Primary

    • Subordinate

    • Don’t Include

    • Continue Primary

  4. Optional: If you chose Primary or Subordinate, change the value with which you want the bar number sequence change to start in the corresponding value field in any of the following ways:
    • Enter a value into the value field.

    • Click the arrows beside the value field.

  5. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.

Result

The bar number sequence changes, starting from the beginning of the bar in which you selected an item, or from the position of a selected bar number or barline.

This affects the corresponding bar number sequence from the changed bar number until the next bar number change, or until the end of the flow.
