Slash region counts

Slash region counts are numbers shown at regular intervals, either above or below slash regions,

to help players keep track of how many bars have passed. The intervals are usually based on

typical musical phrases, such as every four or eight bars.

By default, slash region counts are shown every four bars and are placed below the staff. Each

slash region has its own separate count.

Slash region with counts shown every two bars

In Dorico SE, you can change the start count of each slash region, how frequently slash region

counts are shown, their staff-relative placement, and whether they are parenthesized.
