Changing the start count of bar repeats
You can change the number from which individual bar repeats start, for example, if you want to
notate the
rst bar in a repeated phrase at the start of each system but show a continuous count
across multiple bar repeats.
NOTE
The start count applies to the rst bar in the bar repeat, which is the notated bar. For
example, changing the start count of a one-bar repeat region lasting three bars to 5, with
bar repeat counts shown every four bars, causes the count at the end of the bar repeat
region to show the number 8.
Bar repeat counts are only shown on one-bar repeat regions.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the one-bar repeat regions whose start count you want to change.
2. In the Properties panel, activate Count from in the Bar Repeat Regions group.
3. Change the value in the value eld.
RESULT
The number and position of bar repeat counts on the selected bar repeats is changed. For
example, changing the start count from 1 to 2, with counts shown every four bars, causes the
count to appear on the second bar in the bar repeat region instead of the third.
EXAMPLE

same part layout with the default count
