You can hide/show page numbers in each layout independently, including specifying whether to hide/show a page number on the first page. For example, you can show page numbers on every page in the score but hide page numbers on the first page in the parts.

Note

To show page numbers, there must be a text frame containing the page number token on the page. The First page templates in the default page template sets do not contain text frames containing page number tokens, so you must add these if you want to show page numbers on pages that use these page templates.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L to open Layout Options.
  2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts in which you want to hide/show page numbers.

    By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog. You can select other layouts by using the selection options in the action bar, clicking and dragging across multiple layouts, Shift-clicking adjacent layouts, and Ctrl/Cmd-clicking individual layouts.

  3. In the category list, click Page Setup.
  4. In the Page Numbers section, select one of the following options from the Visibility menu:

    • Always shown

    • Always hidden

    • Not on first page

  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

  • If you select Always shown, page numbers are shown on all pages that have a text frame containing the page number token in the selected layouts.

  • If you select Always hidden, page numbers are hidden on all pages in the selected layouts, including on pages that have a text frame containing the page number token.

  • If you select Not on first page, page numbers are hidden on the first page in the selected layouts, but shown on all other pages that have a text frame containing the page number token.

Note

Your per-layout setting for whether page numbers are hidden/shown above flow headings affects whether page numbers are shown on pages where they are higher on the page than flow headings.
