Hello,
Is it possible, using engraver or layout settings preferably, to make the first bar number of piece be more underneath the time signature? I have attached an example of what I’m wanting and and what I currently see in my project. Thanks for the help! The blurry screenshot is what I’m wanting to achieve, and the other screenshot is from my project.
I know about that, but I was trying to not use engrave mode. I didn’t know if there was a setting I missed somewhere.
Correct, but I’m only wanting the first bar only. Thanks, though!
I don’t think that’s possible. I’ve tried several settings, but it won’t allow you to select Centered On Bar for Alignment after start of system at the same time as Left-Aligned on Start of System. From the dialog design, it feels this should be possible, and I wonder why it isn’t.
Same! I guess I’ll have to use engraver mode to manually move it every time (more stuff I have to manually do!).
@35TCB77 You can easily record a macro that does this for all flows at once (switching to Engrave mode*, setting the offset, propagate the properties and switching back to Write mode*). You just need to select the first bar number in the score, for each flow.
local app=DoApp.DoApp()
app:doCommand([[Window.SwitchMode?WindowMode=kEngraveMode]])
app:doCommand([[UI.InvokePropertyChangeValue?Type=kBarNumberDx&Value=string: "0"]])
app:doCommand([[UI.InvokePropertyChangeValue?Type=kBarNumberDx&Value=string: "39/8"]])
app:doCommand([[Edit.PropagateProperties]])
app:doCommand([[Window.SwitchMode?WindowMode=kWriteMode]])
(*) There are ways to avoid the mode switching, but I don’t remember what is the code for it. Possibly someone can tell more…
Thanks, but I only need it for the very first bar of the score. I ended up making the change and just saving the project as a template. Thanks again, though!
