By default, counts in numbered bar regions are not aligned across systems to allow individual counts to be positioned as close to the staff as possible. You can align all numbered bar region counts project-wide vertically within each system, with their position determined by the count furthest from the staff.
Procedure
- Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to open Engraving Options.
- In the category list, click Bar Repeats.
- In the Numbered Bar Regions section, activate Align bar counts across width of system.
- Click Apply, then Close.
