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 players 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 start count of slash regions
You can change the number from which individual slash region counts start, for example, if you want to input more precise notation between two slash regions but want the count to appear to continue across the regions.

Changing the start count of slash regions

You can change the number from which individual slash region counts start, for example, if you want to input more precise notation between two slash regions but want the count to appear to continue across the regions.

Procedure

Select any part of each slash region whose start count you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
In the Properties panel, activate Count from in the Slash Regions group.
Change the value in the value field.

Result

The number and position of counts on the selected slash regions is changed. For example, changing the start count from 1 to 2, with counts shown every four bars, causes the count to appear on the third bar in the slash region instead of the fourth.

Example

Figure 1. Two separate slash regions, where the start count on the second region has been changed so it appears to continue on from the first region.
