I’m working on a detailed drum set part for a big band. I’m using slash regions wherever possible but have some hits over time. I’d like to indicate (8) under the 8th bar but also have some hits above. I’ve used a slash notehead to get the slashes so I can put hits above the staff, and don’t know how to turn on measure numbers, or if it’s even possible.
Slashes also can end up adding a lot of unnecessary visual clutter too. Another cleaner option can be to use 1-bar repeats, which don’t then contribute as much to the horizontal spacing.
