Hi All, Big step for me, minor challenge for you: how to get a number in front of a staff like in the example. Thanks, Antoine [Dorico-Numbering]

Here are a couple of previous discussions on the topic, with a variety of methods you can explore :slight_smile: [image] How to create numbered systems Dorico Hi There, can anyone tell me how I can number my systems? I’m trying to make an exercise sheet and I…

Hi Lillie, Thanks. I found these posts but was kind of hoping that an easier solution was possible. Will wait for D6 :wink:

This is really easy to do though, as long as you don’t need the number before the system and rehearsal letters in the same project. I’m actually working on a file where I use this right now. In Engraving Options / Rehearsal Letters: Sequence Type: Numbers Custom Suffix: . Position of rehearsal ma…

Hey Fred, I’ve been trying this with a piano staff. Once I get to the “Left-aligned with systemic barline” part, any amount of “Horizontal offset” has no effect on the position of the number. It stays stuck to the systemic barline. The Vertical part works well, instead. Any idea why that would b…

For rehearsal marks at the top of a system, I believe the horizontal offset unfortunately only works with single staff instruments.

Ah, you’re right, I guess the horizontal adjustment only works on single staff systems. I’ve wanted the horizontal adjustment to apply to multiple staff systems for years as I always end up adjusting rehearsal marks in grand staff parts. Daniel gave an explanation here, but I’d still love to see thi…

Well… let’s not forget that, in Sibelius, a much older program, the only reliable way to this has been the one described by Lillie in other posts: instrument changes and then change the name. A page template with top padding set to 0 (or to small values) and a text frame would work for all flows th…

It’s also not too hard to set the vertical distance, then Select More, and bump them all over at once: [rehearsal]

Does Select More work across flows? I don’t think so. But if I need to do things in one flow, I believe your method is great.
