Numbered bar - condensing break

Hi, I know it has been discussed a bit in the past, but I want to bring it again in developers attention this bug : when numbered bar is used for two condensed instruments, the voices become uncondensed. This is quite annoying, especially after you finish working on a general score, then you work on parts where you add numbered region which disturbs the work done in condensing.

Also when there are string divisi, if you use numbered bars, you would use it only for the top stave (is redundant to use it for second or 3rd divisi if the lenght of the note is the same). This thing also disrupts the condensing, requiring to redo manual condensing each time - time consuming and quite ilogical.

I am confident that you will include this issue in the next update and I really hope is going to be fixed.

Thank you.

You need indeed to have the exactly same Numbered Bar Region/s in both players to avoid the un-condensing.
You can then make one of the NBR invisible with a workaround: in Engrave mode properties panel (set to Locally), set a very high Number Offset Y value (something like 999) to put the numbers outside the page.
