Is it possible to change the font size of bar number ranges in multi bar rests? Thanks!
I believe bar number ranges use the same paragraph style for bar numbers as all other bar numbers in the layout.
Correct. Would be nice of both fonts could be edited independantly.
Could I make this suggestion to do so in a future version?
I’m curious to know a bit more about your requirements here. Can you tell me why you would like bar numbers under multi-bar rests to have a different appearance to other bar numbers?
I believe it’s only the size he wants to change. I could see the reason for that…
My answer is quite obvious: I like bar numbers to be big enough to be clearly visible, especially in parts, which makes the bar number range under multi bar rests as it is now a bit too big to my taste. I would personally prefer a slightly smaller font and preferibly in italics.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll make a note of this and we’ll see whether this is something we can add in a future version.
Hi,
As far as I can see my suggestion above about multi bar rest bar number ranges has not been picked up in newer Dorico versions. Could I again bring it to your attention? Thanks!
Can you show an image of how your bar numbers look? I guess I’ve always wanted my bar numbers to be a consistent size. I’d be curious to see an image with both your standard bar numbers and the bar number ranges you’d like reduced. (Obviously your image in the first post only shows the ranges, not your standard bar numbers.)
So you want big numbers at the start of systems, but smaller under multibar rests?
I agree.
Referring to this other recent thread, about the advantages to have different Paragraph Styles for Bar Numbers and Bar Number ranges, (when you need to use, instead of the enclosure layout option for bar numbers, a Paragraph Style Border with specific settings to make possible to align the enclosure (border) with the left margin, but don’t want the border for the bar number ranges):
Not exactly; I would like the same size bar numbers but smaller multibar rest numbers.
Which is exactly what @FredGUnn thought you wanted! So please explain how it is it not exactly? I’m confused.
You’re right, I’m sorry, I misread @FredGUnn’s reply. The answer should have been: yes!
