Notation reference
Rhythm slashes
Rhythm slashes are diagonal lines positioned on staves that are used to indicate that performers should play something, but without specifying the exact rhythms and pitches. They are often accompanied by chord symbols to indicate the set of notes the performer should use.
Slash region counts
Slash region counts are numbers shown at regular intervals, either above or below slash regions, to help performers keep track of how many bars have passed. The intervals are usually based on typical musical phrases, such as every four or eight bars.
Changing the slash region count frequency
You can change how frequently counts are shown on individual slash regions, independently of your project-wide setting; for example, if you want to show the count after eight bars on a single slash region. By default, slash region counts are shown every four bars.
