The problem I have recently encountered is that the bar numbers are not displayed in the place where they should be displayed above a specific player if that player is not included in a specific flow.
For example, in the Layout options, I have set that the measure numbers should be shown above the timpani (i.e. in the middle of the score). There are no Timpani in one of the flows (i.e. there is no check mark in front so that this player does not appear in this flow), and accordingly, the bar numbers are not there either, although the user most likely expects that, regardless of whether the player appears in a particular flow or not, the bar numbers should still be displayed in the appropriate place in the score (in my case this is in the middle), because it is assumed that the players serve only as a guideline for the arrangement of bar numbers, and not as an “anchor point”.
The question is, how to solve this situation? Maybe there are some workarounds, or am I doing something wrong?
