You can edit the formatting of the paragraph styles used for bar numbers; for example, if you want to increase their font size. By default, there is a paragraph style for bar numbers in full score layouts and another paragraph style for bar numbers in part layouts.

Prerequisite

If you want to use additional bar number paragraph styles to the ones provided by default, you have created new paragraph styles.

Procedure

  1. Choose Library > Paragraph Styles to open the Paragraph Styles dialog.
  2. In the paragraph styles list, select one of the following bar number paragraph styles:

    • Bar numbers (parts)

    • Bar numbers (score)

  3. Optional: Select one of the available styles from the Parent menu.

    If you select a parent style, an activated switch is shown beside all the options that are different in the selected paragraph style, compared to its parent style.

  4. Activate and change the options you want for the selected paragraph style.
  5. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.

Result

The selected bar number paragraph style is changed. This affects the appearance of bar numbers in all layouts that use the selected style.

Tip

You can also make additional bar number paragraph styles, as each layout can use a different paragraph style for bar numbers.
