Notation reference
Numbered bar regions
Numbered bar regions allow you to show bar counts in specific regions without additional notations. This can help performers keep track of how many bars have passed when playing repetitive music.
Numbered bar region counts
Numbered bar region counts are numbers shown at regular intervals either above or below the staff, to help performers keep track of how many bars have passed.
Changing the start count of numbered bar regions
You can change the number from which individual numbered bar regions start; for example, if you want to show a continuous count across multiple numbered bar regions.

Changing the start count of numbered bar regions

You can change the number from which individual numbered bar regions start; for example, if you want to show a continuous count across multiple numbered bar regions.

Prerequisite

The lower zone is shown.
Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.
If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure

Select the numbered bar regions 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 Bar Repeat Regions group.
Change the value in the value field.

Result

The start count of the selected numbered bar regions is changed. If the count frequency is every two bars or more, counts appear on different bars. 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 region instead of the fourth.
