first of all thank you so much for your fantastic new features in Dorico 4. So many great ideas, one has dreamed of for years!
Unfortunately the numbered Bar region feature does not work for me with files, that I created in Dorico 3.5 and now open in Dorico 4.
I see that there is a reagion, but no numbers are shown. (one can only see the small circles for the edges of the region, but nothing else…?)
On the same topic of numbered bar regions (a feature I love, because I was faking it with text), I wonder why I still get my 1 showing, despite having chosen the option in Engraving options not to show the number in the first bar. Any clue?
OK I wasn’t sure what numbered bar regions was specifically, searching the docs wasn’t bringing it up nor web search. But inferring from above it seems that it’s numbering used for Bar Repeat counts and Slash repeat counts - true? But OP is talking about basic bar numbering, so I’m corn-fused.
I think this is a distinction between the repeat-symbol count (which can omit the number and logically omits the repeat symbol on the first/source measure) and the written-out repeat region which numbers the first measure regardless.
