3. Choose Subordinate for Type to activate the Subordinate value eld.
4. Change the rst letter in the subordinate bar number sequence by changing the value in the
Subordinate value eld.
The corresponding alphabetical letter is shown to the right of the value eld. For example,
entering
1 into the value eld is shown as a, 2 appears as b, and so on.
5. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
RESULT
The subordinate bar number sequence starts from the bar in which you selected an item, or from
the position of a selected bar number or barline. It has the same bar number as the bar
immediately before, but with subordinate alphabetical letters.
For example, if you start a subordinate bar number sequence from what was originally bar 5, the
sequence starts from 4a and continues until the next specied bar number change, or until the
end of the ow.
Returning to the primary bar number sequence
You can specify the point where you want to return to the primary bar number sequence after a
section of subordinate bar numbers.
PROCEDURE
1. Select one of the following:
● An item in the bar from the beginning of which you want to return to the primary bar
number sequence.
● An existing bar number or barline from which you want to return to the primary bar
number sequence.
2. Choose Edit > Bar Numbers > Add Bar Number Change to open the Insert Bar Number
Change dialog. You can also choose this option from the context menu.
3. Choose Continue Primary for Type.
Text indicating the new bar number appears below the value elds for Primary and
Subordinate. For example, Primary sequence will continue from bar 5.
4. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
RESULT
The primary bar number sequence resumes from the bar in which you selected an item, or from
the position of a selected bar number or barline.
TIP
You do not have to add subordinate bar number changes in chronological order. You can enter a
return to the primary bar number sequence
rst, before adding the subordinate bar number
sequence.
Bar numbers and repeats
By default in Dorico SE, repeats are not included in the bar number count. For example, if the
rst ending ends in bar 10, the second ending starts in bar 11, even though the rst section is
repeated and therefore more than ten bars have been played.
Including repeats in the bar number count, so that bar numbers reect the total number of bars
played rather than the number of bars written on the page, can make music with multiple
