You can hide counts or show counts with or without parentheses for individual slash 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.

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 any part of each slash region 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 Slash Regions group.
  3. Select one of the following options from the menu:
    • With parentheses

    • Without parentheses

    • Do not show

Result

Counts in the selected slash 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 slash region counts project-wide in Engraving Options > Notes > Rhythmic Slashes.
