Cut Away Score Bar Numbering

[brianwjagger]

I noticed this issue with the bar numbering in cut away scores where the bar numbers are appearing on top of barlines for players who are part way down the score. I assume it’s due to having bar numbers displayed above the top staff of the system and that top staff changing after the page starts due to cut away measures. Is there a way to adjust this so that the bar numbers only appear above whichever staff is the top staff at that point on the page?

Are you sure you haven’t just set barlines to show on specific staves? Check Layout Options.

The only thing checked is Show above top staff of system.

There does seem to be an issue here – cutaway score with bar numbers every bar shown above top staff. And the behavior is different depending on whether staves are coming or going.

Here the second staff becomes the top staff in bar 62, but it also gains a bar number for bar 61 (and every previous bar on that system, not shown in this image). On the next page, that staff doesn’t get a bar number for 64 even though it’s the top staff at that point. And no staff has a bar number for 68.

Yes, it seems inconsistent in how it treats which staff is the top staff and how to apply the bar numbers. For now, I’ve changed the settings so the bar number only displays at the beginning of a system and this seems to work as expected.
