The bar number changes are deleted. Subsequent bars follow the previous bar number
sequence until the next bar number change, or until the end of the ow.
Subordinate bar numbers
Subordinate bar numbers are useful for numbering repeat endings, and for situations when the
music is being altered, but the original bar numbers cannot be changed.
For example, you can use subordinate bar numbers to show where music has been added if a
previous, shorter version has already been rehearsed. In this situation, players have likely started
to associate certain parts of the piece with particular bar numbers, so if four bars need to be
added after bar
10, they would be numbered 10a to 10d. The bar number of the following bar
then continues from
11 exactly as it did before the new bars were added.
They might also be useful if you want different bar numbers for a repeat ending.
Subordinate bar numbers are shown with lowercase letters.
Lowercase subordinate bar number
Adding subordinate bar numbers
You can create a subordinate bar number sequence that is independent of your primary bar
number sequence. This can be useful if you want to insert new bars without changing the bar
numbers of existing subsequent bars.
PROCEDURE
1. Select one of the following:
● An item in the bar from the beginning of which you want subordinate bar numbers to
start.
● An existing bar number or barline from which you want subordinate bar numbers to
start.
2. Choose Edit > Bar Numbers > Add Bar Number Change to open the Insert Bar Number
Change dialog. You can also choose this option from the context menu.
3. Choose Subordinate for Type to activate the Subordinate value eld.
4.
Change the rst letter in the subordinate bar number sequence by changing the value in the
Subordinate value eld.
The corresponding alphabetical letter is shown to the right of the value eld. For example,
entering 1 into the value eld is shown as a, 2 appears as b, and so on.
5.
Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
RESULT
The subordinate bar number sequence starts from the bar in which you selected an item, or
from the position of a selected bar number or barline. It has the same bar number as the bar
immediately before, but with subordinate alphabetical letters.
