Changing which playthroughs are shown in bar numbers

In projects that contain repeats, you can change which playthroughs are shown in bar numbers in each layout independently; for example, if some players want to see bar numbers for all playthroughs in their parts, but others only want to see the last repeat.

Note

This does not affect the overall bar number count, only which bar numbers are shown.

Prerequisite

Repeat sections are included in the bar number count.

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 which playthroughs are shown in 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, clicking and dragging across multiple layouts, Shift-clicking adjacent layouts, and Ctrl/Cmd-clicking individual layouts.

  3. In the category list, click Bar Numbers.
  4. In the Repeats subsection, choose one of the following options for Count repeats:
    • All repeats

    • First repeat only

    • Last repeat only

  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The playthroughs shown in bar numbers in the selected layouts are changed.
