Changing the timecode frequency

You can show timecodes at different intervals in layouts in which timecodes are shown on a

separate staff. For example, you can show timecodes every bar in full score layouts but only at

the start of each system in part layouts.

PREREQUISITE

Markers are shown in the selected layouts.

NOTE

We do not recommend that you show timecodes every bar in layouts with multi-bar rests, as the

result is illegible overlapping timecodes. If you want to show timecodes in part layouts with

multi-bar rests, we recommend either showing timecodes only at the start of each system or not

showing multi-bar rests in the layout.
