You can change the number from which individual slash region counts start; for example, if you want to input more precise notation between two slash regions but want the count to appear to continue across the regions.

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.

Procedure

  1. Select any part of each slash region whose start count you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Count from in the Slash Regions group.
  3. Change the value in the value field.

Result

The start count of the selected slash 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.

Example

Two separate slash regions, where the start count in the second region has been changed so it appears to continue on from the first region.
