Returning to the primary bar number sequence

You can specify the point where you want to return to the primary bar number sequence after a section of subordinate bar numbers.

Procedure

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

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

  2. Choose Edit > Bar Numbers > Add Bar Number Change to open the Insert Bar Number Change dialog. You can also choose this option from the context menu.
  3. Choose Continue Primary for Type.

    Text indicating the new bar number appears below the value fields for Primary and Subordinate. For example, Primary sequence will continue from bar 5.

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

Result

The primary bar number sequence resumes from the bar in which you selected an item, or from the position of a selected bar number or barline.

Tip

You do not have to add subordinate bar number changes in chronological order. You can enter a return to the primary bar number sequence first, before adding the subordinate bar number sequence.
