Hiding/Showing bar number enclosures
You can optionally show bar numbers in either a rectangular or circular enclosure in each layout
independently, for example, if you want bar numbers to appear with rectangle enclosures in the
full score layout so the conductor can easily see them but with no enclosures in part layouts,
where pages tend to be less busy.
Bar numbers in enclosures automatically erase their backgrounds.
