You can hide/show divisi section numbers in staff labels before initial barlines in each layout independently. For example, you can show divisi section numbers in staff labels in part layouts but hide them in full score layouts.

Note

  • These steps only apply to divisi changes whose section numbers are set to Follow Options in the Change Divisi dialog.

  • These steps do not apply to divisi group or instrument names, which follow either your per-layout settings for showing staff labels or your setting in the Change Divisi 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 hide/show divisi section 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 Staves and Systems.
  4. In the Staff Labels section, activate/deactivate the following options:

    • Show section names on first system

    • Show section names on subsequent systems

  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

Divisi section numbers are shown before the initial barline in the first system of each divisi passage when Show section names on first system is activated, and hidden when it is deactivated.

Divisi section numbers are shown before the initial barlines on all subsequent systems in divisi passages when Show section names on subsequent systems is activated, and hidden when it is deactivated.
