Hiding/Showing or parenthesizing bar repeat counts

You can hide counts or show counts with or without parentheses for individual bar repeat regions, independently of your project-wide setting. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.
Note

Bar repeat counts are only shown on one-bar repeat regions.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. Select the one-bar repeats whose counts you want to hide/show or parenthesize. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Count appearance in the Bar Repeat Regions group.
  3. Select one of the following options from the menu:

    • With parentheses

    • Without parentheses

    • Do not show

Result

Counts in the selected bar repeat regions are shown with parentheses, without parentheses, or hidden. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

Tip

You can also change the default appearance of all bar repeat counts project-wide in Engraving Options > Bar Repeats > Bar Repeats.
