Changing the staff-relative placement of numbered bar region counts

You can show the counts in individual numbered bar regions either above or below the staff, 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

Changing the staff-relative placement of counts affects all counts in the region. You cannot change the placement of a single count independently of other counts in the region.

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 numbered bar regions whose count staff-relative placement you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Staff-relative position in the Bar Repeat Regions group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:

    • Above

    • Below

Result

The staff-relative placement of all counts in the selected numbered bar regions is changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

Tip

You can change the default placement of all numbered bar region counts project-wide in Engraving Options > Bar Repeats > Numbered Bar Regions.
