Hiding bar numbers

[BakkumD]

Is there a global way to hide bar numbers that are positioned at the start of each system when there is a rehearsal mark also on the start of the same system?

I have unchecked “Show bar numbers at rehearsal marks” in the Bar Numbers/Layout Options dialog box, clicked apply, nothing changed. Here is how it looks currently:

I was assuming that by unchecking “Show bar numbers at rehearsal marks” the bar number would be hidden. It is not. Is this the correct behavior?

I’m aware I can select the bar number and in the “Time Signatures” panel select “Hide Bar Number” - and the number will hide. I really don’t want to do that manually in every staff of every part as it is not a global adjustment.

Does the “Show bar numbers at rehearsal marks” option refer to a different situation, or is this maybe not implemented yet?

The “Show bar numbers at rehearsal” marks Option only affects bar numbers that would otherwise clash with a rehearsal mark. Bar numbers under the staff do not fall into this category.

pianoleo - thanks for the reply… so… it’s only purpose is to avoid a visual collision?

If that is the desired behavior of that option - I would then request that the “Show bar numbers at rehearsal marks” option be upgraded to function in the same way for bar numbers under a staff to avoid the redundancy of two bar numbers in any measure (if bar number is selected for the rehearsal mark) - and in my case, in the first measure of a staff line. It’s no fun manually selecting every instance of that in every part… and hiding the bar number.

I think its only purpose is to avoid a collision, but I’m a merely a user so all I can do is quote the developers:

Bar numbers still appear when the rehearsal mark is at the start of the system if they are not going to collide. We thought it looked weird to hide the bar numbers on those systems when the rehearsal mark is well out of the way, i.e. to the right of the fixed preamble.
