You can change the number from which individual numbered bar regions start; for example, if you want to show a continuous count across multiple numbered bar 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 the numbered bar regions 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 Bar Repeat Regions group.
  3. Change the value in the value field.

Result

The start count of the selected numbered bar 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.
