Changing the bar number paragraph style used in layouts

You can choose which paragraph style is used for bar numbers in each layout independently. By default, bar numbers in full score layouts use one paragraph style and bar numbers in part layouts use a different paragraph style.

Prerequisite

If you want to use a custom paragraph style for bar numbers in some layouts, you have already created it in the Paragraph Styles dialog.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L to open Layout Options.
  2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts in which you want to change the paragraph style used for bar numbers.

    By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog. You can select other layouts by using the selection options in the action bar, Shift-clicking adjacent layouts, and Ctrl/Cmd-clicking individual layouts.

  3. Click Bar Numbers in the page list.
  4. In the Appearance subsection, select a paragraph style from the Paragraph style menu.
  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The selected paragraph style is used for all bar numbers in the selected layouts.
