Bar number changes
Bar numbers follow a continuous sequence, with each bar having a unique bar number that
continues from the previous bar number. However, you can make manual changes to the bar
number sequence, including changing to a subordinate sequence.
In Dorico Elements, you can make the following types of changes to bar number sequences
using the Insert Bar Number Change dialog:
Primary
Adds a change to the main bar number sequence, which the bars in your project
follow in a continuous sequence in each ow separately by default.
Subordinate
Adds a secondary bar number sequence that uses letters rather than numbers to
indicate the sequence. This can be useful in situations where a new version of a piece
has been created with more bars inserted, but the original bar numbers are
required.
Don’t Include
Excludes the selected bar from the current bar number sequence. If bar numbers are
shown every bar, no bar number is shown in bars in which you have chosen Don’t
Include.
Continue Primary
Returns the bar number sequence to the Primary sequence without counting
intervening bars, for example, after a section of bars following the Subordinate bar
number sequence.
